Seven Falls, Colorado Springs

Seven Falls is just 10 minutes away from downtown Colorado. Did you know that this attraction is considered "The Grandest Mile of Scenery in Colorado?" This is as well close to Garden of the Gods...neighboring places, so if you're visiting Garden of the Gods, you can do visit the falls as well with just a minimal fee. Seven Falls is very colorful during the night, but it so happened when we visited the falls, it was daytime. But you can still see a dynamic view of the scenic mountains. You can go to the top via elevator where a 360 degree viewing camera is located. There is also a small shop there for your souvenirs if you want to buy some.

Just beside the falls is a a 224-step stairway that leads up to "Midnight Falls". I haven't tried this yet, but hopefully, we can go back there and try it :). Well, if you are considering this itinerary, visit SEVEN FALLS website.

Garden of The Gods - Colorado Springs

If you're planning a trip to visit this park/garden, it's all worth it. There's really a big difference when nature calls...the beauty is mesmerizing seeing the giant red rocks formed. There is so much to learn with the rocks. You can go further inside the park by driving seeing all those various forms of big rocks along the way. Then, you'll gonna see the beauty of the whole garden as well viewing from the side of the road.

You can further take a by foot tour in the garden. It needs a lot of walking, so be prepared to wear a comfortable shoes and necessary clothing protection depending on the weather. We were there last fall, and it was kinda chilly and sunny. If you love shopping, you can drop by at the gift shop for souvenirs at the Visitor and Nature Center gift shop. Have fun!

Denver, Colorado Trip Adventures

August 14-19, 2006
We had a long flight from Baltimore to Detroit and from Detroit to Denver. This trip lasted for 4 hours which was pretty much exhausting. It must be so far the toughest trip we encountered because we both had the “altitude sickness” which at first we were not aware we were getting it. We were unaware that geographically speaking, we were 6,450 feet high above sea level. I was nauseated and got nasal headaches while hubby was having trouble breathing at times. It was manageable though, so thank God for that .
We got several itineraries as planned. Since we had a rented car, we managed to visit someplaces:

Red Rock Amphitheater – this place was really captivating! The long seemed unendless stairs going up was really challenging. Once you reach the top, you can see the famous amphitheatre which was famously called carved by Mother Nature.

Coors Field - we were able to witness this place when we were invited to watch a baseball game. My first time ever to watch this game. It was fun doing it and cheering for the Colorado Rockies against the Diamond Backs. Geesh,our team was lost :(.
