Originally the provenance of the Ute, Arapohoe and Cheyenne tribes, the city of Colorado Springs was incorporated in 1886. Its breathtakingly beautiful surroundings - thanks in large part to its position at the base of the Rocky Mountains provides, not to mention its proximity to Garden of the Gods and Red Rock Canyon - draw a large number of visitors every year. Visit Pikes Peak, site of Colorado's Gold Rush, climb 14,115 feet to the summit on the Manitou & Pikes Peak Railway, or check out the activities at the Olympic Training Center, U.S. Air Force Academy and Old Colorado City Historic District. Visitors can even pan for gold and tour a real ghost town!
