Colorado Springs sits alongside some of America’s most beautiful mountains, including Pikes Peak. Colorado’s second largest consistently ranks as one of the best places to live. Garden of the Gods, Seven Falls, the U.S. Air Force Academy, the Colorado Springs Pioneer Museum, and Cheyenne Zoo can all be found in Colorado Springs.
