Things to Do

Colorado has many outdoor activities that are enjoyable during the summer. From hiking to the intensity of the Manitou Incline, get a great workout in preparation for all the delicious meals we will share!

Want a serious workout? Take on the Manitou Incline while you're visiting. The Bar Trail is nice to take down after making it all the way to the top of the incline. Possibly allot about 3-4 hours for this activity.

This is one of my favorite Korean restaurants in the Springs! We even made it as a feature in the Gazette's article about them. You have the try the bingsu (Korean ice cream) during the summer. It's a great dessert to share!
