Things to do in Colorado Springs

Colorado Springs sits at the foot of Pikes Peak and is defined in large part by the military and aerospace presence around it: the U.S. Air Force Academy, Fort Carson, Peterson and Schriever Space Force Bases and the headquarters of U.S. Space Command and NORAD-related operations. Defense contractors, cybersecurity firms and the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee, headquartered downtown, add to the steady stream of business travelers, alongside a tourism industry built around the mountains and the historic Broadmoor resort.
