I had a week off and no place to go really, so I went to our house out in Colorado. It's such a great place to visit and we still have the house I grew up in so I have a free place to stay.
Here come twelve pictures from my vacation...Thanks for looking!
There's so much great hiking in Colorado. I use an app called "All Trails" that finds trails close to you, grades them by difficulty, length and terrain. It's a paid app but if you like hiking, it's totally worth it. This is at the foot of Pikes Peak. The mountains across the valley are bare because a fire burnt the trees off about 10 years ago.
Pikes Peak area tourism rebounds strongly from COVID-19 pandemic
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- A strong fall season for visitors has significantly improved the outlook of the 2020 tourism season in the Pikes Peak region.
America's Mountain set a record during September, October and November with a 25% increase in attendance -- more than 153,000 people -- the largest three-month period in its history. The surge in visitors means that Pikes Peak officials now expect an overall decline of 15% rather than a projected 50% because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mild weather and the relaxing of pandemic health restrictions are two reasons cited for the turnaround.
