Colorado Springs Getaway Part 2 ~ 🏰🦒

1. Glen Eyrie Castle 🏰 This historic castle offers daytime tours and afternoon tea, but we decided to stay overnight in their lodge—and it was absolutely worth it! 🌟 Why it’s magical: Wildlife Encounters: At dawn and dusk, we spotted herds of bighorn sheep 🐑, graceful deer 🦌, and even wild turkeys 🦃 roaming freely! Included Breakfast: A delicious gourmet meal served on the castle’s terrace overlooking meadows where animals graze—pure serenity! 🍳🌄 Exploring the Grounds: The property has scenic trails perfect for hiking, with views of rock formations and valleys. 🥾 Prime Location: Just minutes from Garden of the Gods and other attractions! Pro Tip: Book early—this place is popular for its old-world charm and unique experience! 2. Cheyenne Mountain Zoo 🦒 Located 30 minutes from Glen Eyrie, this zoo is a paradise for animal lovers! Highlights: Feed the Animals: Get up close with giraffes (they’ll eat right from your hand! 🥬), elephants, and friendly goats. 🐘 Family-Friendly: Perfect for kids with interactive exhibits and play areas. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Scenic Layout: Built on a mountainside, the zoo offers stunning views of Colorado Springs. 🏞️ Final Thoughts 💭 From castle stays to wildlife adventures, Colorado Springs blends history, nature, and family fun seamlessly.
