Love this💓 we enjoy this place and the gorge and manitou !! Great vacation spot. Sooo much to see in Colorado Springs. I’m not a big zoo person but the Cheyenne Zoo is incredible!!! This video was done really well!!💓💓👏🏼👏🏼
Really liked the music in this video. Could you tell me what the first song is and where do you get the music for your videos? I don't see it listed in the description. Thanks.
I recently lived in Colorado Springs for a few years not far from the Air Force Academy -- the Air Force's "Thunderbirds" usually do shows during the Academy's graduation ceremony and we'd all take pics/videos of it from our balconies... Colorado is definitely a "health & exercise" state given all its hiking/jogging/biking trails. Even many residential areas/neighborhoods in "the Springs" have paved trails in/through/around them to encourage people to get some exercise (like the very long Cottonwood Creek Trail, in the NE quadrant of the Springs) -- such paths/trails seems to be REQUIRED of new residential/subdivision developers in CO! And then of course, there are the foothills/mountain/national park trails for hiking or 4x4ing -- one reason CO has so many Jeeps (high numbers of them are "Rubicon" editions!), 4x4 pickup trucks, ATVs and dirt bikes -- as on weekends lots of people go out on the trails and mountain passes. Some of those are pretty scary (like Black Bear Pass' switchbacks, so fear-of-heights people may want to "pass" on this one)...others like Red Cone/Webster Pass and Imogene Pass are a bit less scary (but still have their moments). Or, you can take a less demanding "off-road" trip like Switzerland Trail in the hills West of Boulder. But even re: the more difficult passes, there are companies that offer tours of passes, so let THEM do the "scary driving" (in THEIR 4x4 vehicle) for you...yet still experience the adventure. And you see old mining camps/ghost towns up there, too. NOTE: Look up UA-cam videos on all these passes...especially the "scary" (for me anyway) Black Bear Pass. Here's one: ua-cam.com/video/vB9iGGR4yg4/v-deo.html Anyone want to try towing an Airstream through it? And remember, it's one lane only, one-way only (down traffic), no breaking-down, no turnouts and no backing up! ;-) Yes, nice scenery in Colorado...and even if it's a bit pricey to live there, I guess the beauty of the state is worth it to many people. Sadly though (for MOST of us) the ski resort towns (Aspen, Vail, Steamboat Springs, Breckenridge, etc.) are the domains of the rich as you pretty much have to be a millionaire just to LOOK for real estate there! But us poor-folks can at least VISIT those places and enjoy the scenery, which is even better in Winter if you don't mind all the deep snow, ice and REALLY freezing temperatures (zero and below). Just have (or rent!) a vehicle (with appropriate tires!) for those conditions... ;-) Happy Travels, -- BR P.S. Going for groceries in the Garden of the Gods area? There's a huge King Soopers (Kroger-owned so Kroger-branded products) @ Fillmore & Centennial. Nice...
So Steve, is it that you don't like grocery shopping or being the chauffeur for grocery shopping? That's what I have trouble with...thanks for the video, well done!
So much to do in and around the Springs. So like Garden of the Gods. Neat shot thru the rocks.
There is! We have to go back to explore more!
As always, great video. Loved the Red Rock pictures toward the end of the video. Exceptional!
Thank you!
Garden of the Gods is on my bucket list. Thank you for sharing.
Definitely worth a trip!
Beautiful!!! this is now on my bucket list. Music is very nice too :)
Thanks! It's definitely worth seeing!
Hi! Nice shots indeed! BTW, towards the end of the video, where you using an app to determine elevation, steps etc.? If so which app was that? Thanks!
Terrific video! Beautiful photography, Steve! Some of your best, I think!
Thank you! :)

Thanks! The whole area is so awesome!
Use to go to GOTG when I was stationed at Ft. CARSON LOVED Manitou Springs
It's awesome!
Yeah, you went to Garden of the Gods! Nice photography once again. 👍
Thank you! It was lovely!
Beautiful photography, I live in Florida and I already started talking to my husband to go to Colorado. Great video
It is a beautiful state! We want to explore even more!
Videos are getting better each time! Keep it up.
Thanks!
Really liked the music in this video. Could you tell me what the first song is and where do you get the music for your videos? I don't see it listed in the description. Thanks.
We use Epidemic Sound, it's a paid music source. We'll see if we can figure out what song it was!
Thanks. I found it, You Make Me Feel, Staffan Carlen
Pat Ruzicka I came on to ask the same questions, Lol! Loving the music!

We love how many trails there are. As for mountain passes...scary! We're good only towing the Airstream on the big roads haha!
So Steve, is it that you don't like grocery shopping or being the chauffeur for grocery shopping? That's what I have trouble with...thanks for the video, well done!
Neither though he'd rather chauffer then have to go inside and shop.
We were there just last week.
It's an awesome place!
Nice video.
Thanks!
Steve, do you ever convert any of your photos from to color to B&W?
Sometimes if the mood strikes or the photo seems to call for it.
But Steve, you have to grocery shop to eat. It’s a necessity unfortunately. I don’t like shopping either 😁
He'd rather just eat out all the time....though the budget and his waistline wouldn't like that so much ;)
But you like to eat, right?😁😃😉
Always :)
