Blackhawk and Central City is way more better .... more scenic and more to do close by.

I went to Cripple Creek with my parents when I was a kid (at least I think it was Cripple Creek) an old western town, we had a day there.

One for those who wish to enjoy all those wonderful vistas, views and quaint little places
One full of double apex twisties for those of us less aesthetically inclined
Remember no guard rails on Pikes Peak highway...........This is not completely true, there are some. They did check the temperature of our brakes half way down, we were good! Some were instructed to pull over to cool the brakes..... Colorado mountains have some great twisties especially Berthoud Pass, wide highway with switchbacks......
I am not a Colorado expert, just a tourist that really enjoys being there.......Last edited by 200WINS; July 8, 2012, 06:10 AM.

Don't know what holds for that far out, we like CO Springs and Pikes Peak. Would like to be there and will plan for next year, however changes in business may dictate what we can do. The CO Springs area is so full of things to do, Garden of the Gods is a great place to visit and walk around. The color of the rocks change throught the day as the sun changes angle. We have been there in the morning, afternoon and evening, always beautiful. Royal Gorge (Canon City) is something to see, we did take the Royal Gorge Route train, I found the history lesson narative interesting. After the train ride we traveled by car to the top of the gorge, it is really cool to see if only one time. Also Pikes Peak we have been up by train and by highway. Either way or I should say both ways are great! The Cog Train gives lots of history and interesting facts about the mountain. Driving the highway has some really great vistas and some places to stop and take in the scenery. So yes! We would love to make this trip and plan to.

I believe Kool Deadwood Nites is held the weekend before Labor Day. I have not been to this event however my friends that have say it is something to see and participate in. As soon as dates come out I will post them. Rooms in the hills especially Deadwood are usually at a premium during the summer. If anyone is interested we should look into rooms or condo's or something early.

Very busy!!
Kool Deadwood Nites brings together 5 days full of cars, concerts & oldies fun every August. Enjoy a parade, show & shine and FREE concerts on Main Street.
Free Beer in Tully??
