Last weekend my husband and I went to Denver for a Family reunion. We also spent some time in Colorado Springs. Colorado Springs region has a lot of interesting sites, but we had time only for three of them.
First we went to United States Air Force Academy – USAF Academy. We went there to see the Cadets Chapel, which you can see even from highway, and we were not disappointed. The Chapel is a real architectural gem on the outside as well as inside; it has separate chambers for each religious denomination. Stained glass windows give the upper chamber a blue look. The chapel is only 1/3 mile from the visitor center.
I would recommend starting your visit by watching a 10 minute movie about the Academy and cadets’ training. Do not miss the small museum and interesting gift shop, both located in visitor center.
The beautiful acres surrounding the Academy offer miles of walking and running trails.
You do not have to make a reservation, just drive in. Lastly, there is no fee to tour the campus, museum and the Chapel.
The second place we visited was Garden of Gods. Be on the lookout for that article next week.
