The BEST burger in Colorado Springs! It was featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dive's in 2014. Everything here is homemade. The Buns, the ketchup, the heifer sauce, even the fountain sodas, and they source all of their beef locally. You can't go wrong. Also, get the Belgian fries and dip them in the heifer sauce. You won't regret it!

Parks & Nature
An easy drive 1hr west. This park is a $7 entry fee per vehicle. Be sure to stop at the park ranger office to see the beautiful second range on clear days. For an easy hike with spectacular views try the Grouse Point Overlook. 1 mile roundtrip that's easy for most people who just arrived in Colorado. This is one of our families favorite short hikes. Look for B7 carved into the aspen at the summit of the hill and add your own moniker.
