About Us and Colorado

Thanks for visiting our website colorado-springs-vacation.com, and for your interest in learning more about us.

My name is Kirk. My wife Kelly & I started this website because, like you, we love Colorado: the mountains, the sunshine, the blue skies, the friendly people.

We’re originally from the Midwest, and over the course of several years, we found that we always enjoyed our Colorado vacations the most.

We love getting outdoors, whether it’s hiking or snowboarding or camping. Eventually we started taking all of our vacations to Colorado.

One day we decided we needed to make the leap and move west. We moved to Colorado Springs because of its central location in the state and its close proximity to the mountains.

Pikes Peak can be seen from just about everywhere in “the Springs,” and it’s quite a view—purple mountain majesty and everything, just like the song.

Right away I posted some photos online to share this beauty with my family and friends. And soon we got into a pattern-- Kelly would plan trips around the city and state, and I would take pictures and write about our adventures.

I very quickly realized—hey, I’m writing a website about all the things I wished we’d known about Colorado Springs before we first visited. I should make a real website and share this information with everyone.

And here it is!

If you're interested in creating your own website, you can read more about how I made this site.

Hope you enjoyed exploring this site as much as we enjoyed creating it. We welcome your comments and feedback.

If you have any questions about Colorado Springs or travel in Colorado, please contact us.

Thanks for visiting,

Kirk & Kelly
