Activities
Listed below are just some of the activity options available less than an hour away from the retreat venue. And there are plenty more where that came from! Find lots of other choices at www.visitcos.com.
Cave of the Winds - In 1869, a Colorado settler named Arthur B. Love noticed a thin cleft in the western wall of Williams Canyon. Upon further inspection, he discovered a dramatic limestone archway and cave entrance to what we know as Cave of the Winds Mountain Park. The cave was later explored and excavated in 1880, making it possible for visitors to tour these underground chambers. Visit their website to see all the exciting activities available: www.caveofthewinds.com.

Pikes Peak Cog Railway - In the late 1880's, one of the tourists who visited the Pikes Peak Region was Zalmon Simmons, inventor and founder of the Simmons Beautyrest Mattress Company. Mr. Simmons rode to the summit of Pikes Peak on a mule - an arduous, two-day trip. He determined that the views should be experienced in a more civilized and comfortable manner. On the afternoon of June 30th, 1891, the first passenger train made it to the summit of Pikes Peak by train. For the train schedule, visit: www.cograilway.com.
