Colorado Springs is not what we expected! After Selena's Denver Girls' Trip in March, we decided that we would go to Colorado again. She loved it so much, we thought exploring more of Colorado was in order. This resulted us in visiting Colorado Springs just to see how it would compare. BOY were we surprised.

i have lived and grew up in Colorado Springs ever since i have been 2 years old (approx. 28 years) I am seeing all of these videos of people coming to Colorado Springs and loving it - it just makes me proud of my city for all it has for what i have considered to be a small city but now it is becoming known as something special. The only downfall is the traffic is getting worse and a few undesirable developments but you take the good from the bad...I am glad you enjoyed the city

We feel similarly about our own hometowns. It's a mixed feeling. We're very happy we had the honor to get to know the area. Thanks for watching!

@Daniyoyo Год назад

Do you have to drive up into the mountains to get to Colorado Springs like you do in Denver or is like CS at the bottom of the mountain?

@TheCityandBeyond Год назад

That's a little tough because both have plenty of mountains. Best guess is you're not as high as Denver though.

@Chat-GPTRecipes Год назад

Colorado springs is in the foothills of the Rockies just like Boulder, CO. It is a higher elevation than denver sitting at around 6,000-6,500 ft depending on where you are at. Denver is a little bit further away from the mountains in the plains, not sure what you mean by driving up in the mountains unless you are coming from the west side of the Rockies. Colorado Springs is nestled right underneath the 14k Pikes Peak. To answer your question, if you are on the east side of the rockies then no you do not have to drive in the mountains to get here. Once you are here, you are a short 10 minute drive from being in the mountains.

@TheCityandBeyond 10 месяцев назад

Not sure but right now it's like high 80's.

@themoondrinksmerlot4260 5 месяцев назад

The Springs & Denver can both get pretty hot. Triple digits aren’t uncommon in late Summer, but usually 90s. However, it can drop 30 degrees or more at night, and the heat is very dry. So if the sun is out at the higher elevation, even 85-90 can feel intense. But if there’s cloud coverage, it feels nicer since Colorado has low humidity.

@allaboutroofing2 2 года назад

@@MODUBZ1 honestly the biggest thing I'd say that Colorado springs is missing is water. The nearest reservoir for boating is pueblo reservoir, that is so low on water and so many people that it's darn right dangerous with the chop from boats and undercurrents. I love it here despite that, but homes that were just 300K a year or so ago have shot up into the mid 4s. A home I purchased in 2016 for 200k just sold for $460. It's a 1400 SQ ft rancher and a 1960s home, tho I did update it.
