Exploring COLORADO SPRINGS in 2 DAYS! (Pikes Peak, Manitou Incline, Garden of the Gods ++)

We are here now for the week and we brought our mini. She's very protective but very loving ❤️ so far we have been to pikes peak, North pole, train rides, royal gorge and she's been so good and allowed kids to pet her. People on here complaining, I'm grateful! Your channel helped us plan this trip so thank you!

Ive been here 35 yrs now leaving. It's gotten way too big , crowded, loud, etc. You can have it.

It's pronounced Mani-TWO incline.

My son lives in Colorado Springs. We are planning a trip out. Love Pepper. Aussies are a great breed. Enjoy her. ❤ Love your content.

Who does the music? I wanna hear more!

What are you talking about cold. 35 in Colorado Springs is shorts and flip flops weather, lol. It's great!

I live in the Springs area. We went up Pike's Peak once and I got out of the car at marker 16. I have a fear of heights but it was the "no guardrails" that got me. I could not go any further.

Aww Pepper is just adorable 🥰 wow that was some Trail 😮 but the Views 😍 were amazing ❤.
Have a Good week 🥰Safe Travels 🥰

Beautiful video, I loved everywhere you visited and shared with us. We just hiked in Rocky Mountain NP, stayed in Estes Park. It’s different hiking for sure than the mountains of the Carolinas where we live. Precious doggie!!

You want fun? Drive from Ourey to Durango. Now that's some drop offs!

Excited for this van series!

So beautiful!!!! It's been years since I've been there I wanna go back

So impressive that Jason did the incline 👏👏 Most locals cannot do it. Glad you enjoyed your time in our beautiful state

welcome to co sp. it is nice but the weather is tricky lol

I was thinking of doing some traveling with my little puppy next year. Maybe you can do some videos and let us know how to travel with our pets and what state parks are pet friendly.

My Aussie, Dundee, looks just like Pepper. 🐾

Wow very good looking dog but diffinitly lots of work and restrictions i would so not do that but glad you seem to injoy travelling with her

Glad you enjoyed your time in CO. Living here we are spoiled of the beauty the state has to offer. Sometimes I take for granted that I see a wonderful view of the peak on my way to work.

I have a trip coming up in June to Colorado Springs, hopefully everything goes well im so excited.

Good afternoon. Our storm chaser friend that does different trips during non storm season and took us to Pikes Peak and got to go all the way to the top. I don't do good in any hilly or curved roadways so had to look away when we were going up just like when you were going up had to look away. It sure is a beautiful area to visit. Garden of God wow very interesting place. Would/was it mobility accessible if you had a chair of any kind? That would be an excellent adventure for us to do. Thanks for sharing and glad you enjoyed Colorado and it's very beautiful scenery. HAGD.

Wonderful video! Your Travato’s floor plan is great. What is the model# again? Thanks.

Good Job! By the way it's safer to go down steep stairs facing them than the normal way.

What kind of van do you have? Is there a video related?

You guys should drive all of Route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica!!! It's so much fun!!!

Congratulations Jason that's awesome 💪 🎉

Pepper is adorable! My parents Aussie just loves to lay in the snow during the winter.❤🐶

In addition to the places you went we also went to the Olympic training center and the Air Force Academy. Both were cool and worth the trip!

We went the first week of June one year and there was snow everywhere. The hotdog place uses Vienna hotdogs. It is on their sign.

Honestly nobody from Colorado goes there. It's a tourist trap. Way better places to go than around Colorado Springs!!!!!!

I remember as a kid going to the top of Pike's Peak. While we were up there, a snow storm started. I was so scared sitting in the back seat while they were driving back down in a car and barely seeing the road😮.

Love Pepper. So cute.

I love Co.! Awesome hike Jason!! Congratulations!! Your puppy is the cutest! Dogs are the best! ❤❤❤

When you make your way to Oregon, you have to visit and spend some time at Crater Lake. It's one of those places that'll take your breath away and you'll never forget.

Do check the current conditions page before hand though as the weekend storm has closed the main road to the building and overlook.

Started following you for cruise content (which I love), but the Ellie / US travel series is a fantastic change. Also love seeing Pepper and how you guys are bringing her along on all the travels.

Your trip brings me back so many memories! Love the Springs! I have attempted to climb the trail over the stairs with a ministry, but I didn’t make the halfway mark in time, so sadly I had to climb back down. The cliff dwellings are just amazing and you have to make it to Mesa Verde when you get the chance. When I went as a kid, I was able to go into the dwellings and look inside. They are amazing! Try beautiful!

Did you think of taking the Cog Railway @ Pikes Peak? Is it still running?
Many years ago I was planning a tour through Colorado, and was amazed at the things to see in the Colorado Springs area.
Are you heading to Cañon City and the Royal Gorge Bridge?
I think that I was planning to head to Durango, where there's another train that I had been planning.
SO, my guess is that the Royal Gorge Bridge is the next stop on your journey

Proud of you Jason! I enjoyed the cliff dwellings. Did you all hit the hot springs when you were there? Taste the water in Manitou Springs? 😄 Some of it tastes nasty 😂 If you get back there try the largest arcade with all the old games. Super fun.

I drove that up one year in a rental car. It was freaky. Poor car was never the same. Good thing you didn't get up. Poor Ellie would not have made it. I had the gas petal on the floor and I could only get it to 20 mph. I took the train the next time. Much better!

How was driving the edge? I hate the edge!! Looks like a pretty 🐕 friendly area. Kudos on the stair climb....Happy Trails 🐕

It’s always fun to see things thru the eyes of Louisianans.

So many trees there compared to what it used to be.... 😊

Wow, what a cruise excursion. (g) One thing to remember about Colorado Springs is that the weather can easily change hourly. In one day in early June, I encountered snow falling at Pike's Peak, a rainstorm at the Air Force Academy and a hail storm at the Olympic Training Center.

That’s so wild…I was just there last week!!!

Thanks for the great vid.❤ Having so great memories, when seeing Seven Falls / Pikes Peak, 🏔walking all the stairs and trails before major surgery (knee protheses). Love, to see current pictures.
So cool, how great Pepper is doing and see her having so much fun in snow. Give her a big hug. ❤🐶
Can't wait for next vid. ❤🚍

Way to go on that climb Jason!

Love your video's, always a nice mix of views, shopping and food! Pepper is a doll and a great addition to your family!!!

Jason, I feel you brother about not having guard rails and climbing that mountain in the RV. I deal with vertigo, so there is no way I would have made it driving. You did good! It is beautiful there.

Pepper needs to come visit me in Sedona.

Beautiful views

My husband and a friend & I did this same route back in the 70's....I had exterme aniexty going up Pikes Peak....never do that again, especially now that I'm 70, lol....but it was beautiful...
