The VIEW! The view, coupled with the beautiful log cabin, pavilion, treed property, we offer weddings under our Agreement. We are affordable in contrast to other venues which makes it a sought after wedding venue destination.
Hiking: I would suggest using www.cospringstrails.com for trails, etc. Plan for fast weather changes (listen to forecasts as it can snow on what had been a warm day earlier). On this side of the mountain, there are The Crags trail (off Hwy 67) Raspberry Mountain, Horse Thief Falls - Pancake Rocks (at the tunnel parking area on Hwy 67), Dome Rock trails but for an easy stroll try the series of trails in Florissant Fossil Bed Park on Teller County Road 1 (north of Cripple Creek -a fee is required as it is a National Park. It has a cool visitor's center). Neighborhood walking is permitted but please stay on the roads during hunting season and to keep from getting lost.
Elk Stalking: For these enthusiasts, late evening and before dusk, try this spot: Drive to Divide and go right about 3.5 miles near Mile Marker 381. If the elk herd shows, they will be coming out of the woods to your right (south) or to the southwest. Traffic there moves fast so be very careful in that area.
Jeep & UTV Rentals: Great Outdoor Adventures (719-686-6816, Goadventures.org) is new in Woodland Park or ATV/UTV tours (group rides) are available from Rockhound Rentals, 8825 US Hwy 24, Cascade, CO 80809. 719-684-2408. Jeep Guides: I would suggest checking with my buddy to arrange guided open-air or canopy Jeep tours and trips such as Rafting, Segway tours, Zip-lining, Hiking, etc. Please request him - he's called "Ridgerunner" as a Guide name. You may also book online with him at www.advoutwest.com or call them at 719-578-0935. His personal cell is 626-774-4051. Rafting: Echo Canyon in Canon City. Ask about the Bighorn Sheep stretch for rafting. It's more bubbly rather than hard-core. Ziplines are also nearby at Royal Gorge & Manitou
