While you have to drive, you won't be disappointed. The food is incredible and is a local favorite. They brew their own beer and it's one of the better breweries in the area.

Secret spot with a haberdashery entrance evocative of prohibition days. Best gin cocktails ever from a local distillery Lee Spirits. Lavendar gin is to die for.

This hidden gem is in a strip mall and you would never go in otherwise but I assure you, this is one of our top vegan restaurants. Get the Strawberry Fields cocktail in a jar (best cocktail I've ever had) and order the Stoner Nachos - they are a secret menu item and oh so good. This is one of our favorite places in town and everything is vegan. Food is amazing - you could take a meat eater there and they would have no idea.

This place is literally across the street and has a unique set up for pouring your own brews. Definitely head here for a wide selection of beer. Some wine and kombucha on tap too. They also have group mountain bike rides that leave from this location. And indoor bike parking!

Manitou Incline or simply the Incline, is a popular hiking trail rising above Manitou Springs, Colorado, near Colorado Springs. The trail is the remains of a former 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge funicular railway whose tracks washed out during a rock slide in 1990. The Incline is famous for its sweeping views and steep grade, with an average grade of 45% (24°) and as steep as 68% (34°) in places, making it a fitness challenge for locals in the Colorado Springs area. The incline gains over 2,000 feet (610 m) of elevation in less than one mile. Parking is expensive in the area so park in town and walk up the road to the incline.
