Up you go, winding around and around. Just don't look down if you are afraid of heights! This winding, part dirt, part paved road will take you from the base of Pike's Peak all the way up to its 14,000 summit. You won't see better views anywhere. Be prepared for a temperature drop when you arrive at the top. I was there in a snowstorm last July. The views from the top are jaw-dropping, and well worth the trip. Make sure you have enough gas in your tank, for their is no place to stop and fuel up along the route.
At the top is a gift shop complete with the prerequisite sweatshirts and tee shirts and a surprisingly good cafe. get a cup of hot chocolate for the walk outside. On the way down, prepare to stop and have your brakes checked by the crew there. They will do a quick check and tell you if your car is safe to make the rest of the trip down the mountain. (as an alternative to driving, you can also take the railway up--or HIKE)

This is a nice family-owned dancewear store. Owners and staff are very professional, courteous, and are willing to help with whatever dancewear needs you may have. One of the owners, Noel Amend, is a nation-wide renowned point-shoe fitter. I also like that they have a great number of different ballroom shoes. It is unlikely that you would walk away without good quality and correctly fitted shoes.
Pros: Family-owned, variety of dancewear, especially shoes

No matter what you need REI has it for your outdoor needs. Even if they don't have it in the store they can order it and most times will not charge you for shipping. Staff is extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. I recommend this store to anyone. All equipment sold is good quality and they have a 100% satisfaction guarantee. You cannot beat it with any store in the springs.
Pros: Knowledgeable Staff, Excelent Products, Relaxed Atmosphere.
Cons: Expensive but products are worth it.

The prices you just can't beat. If you can, let me know where. LOL I spend time at all the crafting stores in my area so I love em all but I spend more time at Hobby Lobby than anywhere else. I can get stuff for scrapbooking, beading, painting, home decor, holliday stuff, fabric, gifts, and stuff you had no idea you needed. LOL

Michael Garman is a local artist who does unique sculptures of 1940's-era working class folks. His lifelike subjects have the most amazing facial features and his work is truly one-of-a-kind. Of particular interest are his "diner scenes" which show all kinds of motley folks hanging out at the local food counter.
But, what you must check out while you are the gallery is the Magic Town int he back. for a small fee, you will enter a world unlike any that you have seen. It is a complete miniature 1940's cityscape with talking holograms and all kinds of surprises. Kids and adult will enjoy--I think it brings out the voyeur in all of us as we peek in windows to get a better look at what lies within.

There is lots of do in this park. It has a ice center , aquatics and fitness center, as well as famed 7 eleven Velodrome. Moveover there are tennis courts (around 14), ball park, four beach volleyball courts, soccer field, even a pitch and nets for cricket. The tennis courts, ball aprk and beach volleyball courts have lighting till 11.00 pm in the night. The Prospect lake has been recently renovated and a favourite place for a calm evening walk. There are picnic spots around the lake. Since this is a public park it is free and accessible to all. The aquatics and fitness centres do charge a nominal free.
