Papa Bear's Philosophy is great! And so is their pizza!
"Papa Bear Pizza is a locally owned & operated kitchen that strives to make the finest Colorado pizzas for takeout. We have a passion for old world cooking and believe that modern American pizza is a poor representation of what was once a wonderful food!
We are not trying to be fancy or attempting to reinvent the wheel, we just think food should be good and wholesome, and made the way it has been made for centuries before the industrialized food movement changed the way we eat. We just want to cook like your grandmother does, it is as simple as that!"

Pikes Peak is the iconic mountain towering over Colorado Springs. You have to make it to the top! Breathtaking views, but hey, you won't be able to breath up there at 14,114 feet anyway! You can drive up, hike up (only if you are acclimated and it good shape!), or there are guided tours. The cog railway is closed this year for the first time in 125 years!

These falls are stunning. You can view them from the roadside or climb a long set of stairs to get up close. They are lighted during the Holidays and are extra special at that time.
