In Colorado Springs, see the Garden of the Gods
Take the Cog Railroad to the top of Pike's Peak.
The Broadmoor is beautiful, but very expensive. The Cliff House in Manitou Springs (just west of Colorado Springs) is a great hotel and quite a bit cheaper. You could then drive to the Broadmoor for dinner and walk around the lake.
The drive from the Springs to Westcliffe is beautiful. Westcliffe is a small town,
but the Sangre De Cristo mountains are truly beautiful. You can hike the Rainbow Trail outside of Westcliffe or if you really enjoy hiking, the high lakes off the Rainbow Trail are gorgeous.
PM me if you have any specific questions. I have lived in the Springs for the past 23 years.
