Tracy is a fantastic instructor and provides a great experience. His instruction and explanation of the pre-flight and flight process are very thorough and detailed. The flight itself was awesome and i enjoyed it immensely.

2. The Paint Mines Interpretive Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 124 reviews
Hours: Dawn To Dusk NO PETS Admission is Free! Located in the northeast section of the County near Calhan with approximately 750 acres. The paint mines have evidence of human life as far back as 9,000 years ago. The colorful clays were used by Native Americans. The park features fantastic geological formations including spires and hoodoos that were formed through erosive action that created incised gullies and exposed layers of seienite clay and jasper. The park includes a restroom facility, four miles of trails, interpretive signage, and many natural wonders.

It's kind of incredible this is right here and relatively unknown by Denver residents. It's 730 acres that includes wetlands, native-grass prairie, and diverse wildlife and wildflowers, but the most incredible part is the abundance of cliffs, spires, hoodoos, and labyrinth-like gullies of insane colors. It's seriously reminiscent of Yellowstone/Bryce Canyon in places. Native peoples used to come here to get clay for paints.

Brewery and Taproom in the heart of Falcon CO. Offer a variety of food trucks daily and up to 22 beers on tap along with homemade root beer and cream soda. Family and dog friendly!

JAKs has moved about a mile north. It is now on Stapleton. The place is about 3 times the size of the old one. It looks fabulous. They still have a wide selection of great beers. The JAK House IPA is my favorite. They don't serve food but you can bring your own. When I was there there was a truck selling Mexican. There is also a Papa Johns next door.

See the world in a new way as you make a skydive over beautiful, Southern Colorado. You'll experience a breathtaking ride to altitude including views of the Pikes Peak and the Rocky Mountains. After freefalling for over a mile, you'll enjoy a peaceful canopy ride back to earth. For the thrill of a lifetime, come jump Out of the Blue!
Reviewed By Gary T - Monument, Colorado
52 years old - 1st sky dive, was a tandem jump. All of the staff at Out-Of-The-Blue were terrrrr-ific !! Polite, knowledgeable, but very no-nonsense - after all, this is more than just an amusement park ride. In any event, I cannot say anything more about this operation other than it was well run, organized, and very high energy based on all of the adrenaline running through everyone there (hahahaaa). I highly recommend this outfit for any skydiving endeavor, and would certainly not hesitate to use hire them again. Abig thank you to my instructor Doug.
5. Antler Creek Golf Course

My Dad and I decided to play this course since neither of us had ever played it. We played on a weekday and had the course practically to ourselves, which was nice, but from a business perspective, it's not good. Overall it was a nice course, but there were a few things which were a bit off-putting:
1. There's no starter. The person at the pro shop said we could go on whenever we wanted, so we teed off early. Maybe it was because it wasn't crowded, but I'm hoping this isn't status quo.
2. The rental clubs were trash. They said they gave me their "best set", which included a dented driver. They were very apologetic about it and didn't charge me for it which was nice. I'm not the best golfer, but I can say my game was definitely negatively impacted. After the front nine I asked them for a different set, but I came to find out all the rental sets were in terrible condition. You'd think for what you're paying in green fees, you'd get a decent set.
3. The 17th hole needs animal control. There was a huge flock of geese on this hole, and it was covered in goose poop. We had to give ourselves par's because we couldn't even finish the hole with all the goose poop everywhere.
I'd probably play it again, but I'd bring my own clubs or rent them from somewhere else.

Though many days we live consist of and strain over the course of a person career, it’s nice to know that there’s a place you can go for a stress free day of relaxing enjoyment. RMR has provided that for me now over the course of almost 20 years. Customer service and satisfaction is their main goal…and let me tell you, they have the formula down! Brett and Bill are very customer focused, making sure anyone who hunts walks away with a smile on your face. For me, its money well spent. Dogs and guides provided are second to none! Hey… you deserve this, so get out and experience Pheasant hunting in Colorado along with a “Top Notch Team” to host your hunt. There’s nothing I’d rather do, then spend the day at RMR!
Have a great hunt,

I went to SBR Motorsports Park with four co-workers and one co-workers two sons (16 &7 years old) The track is a short drive from Colorado springs. The owners Lee and Ivy were just awesome outfitting everyone with gear. The carts were in great condition and the track was amazing some tight turns and some long sweepers about 1/2 mile in length. Each sessions runs about 10 minutes or about 15 laps. It was the best kart experience I have had in years!

We listened to Whit's End everytime we traveled in the car. We have always believed in and respected Focus on the Family. The Welcome Center was a fun stop during our vacation. The Whit's End exhibit was fun for even my adult children. The Welcome Center and Bookstore were clean and inviting. If visiting and have children make sure they pick up a scavenger hunt paper and try and find all of the creative hints. You can even get some ice cream at the Whit's End Soda Shop.

Reviewed By Randy J - Morgan, Utah
You would not know when you enter it (somewhat hard to see the two entrances/exits), that there is so much to see and do in it. The small lake to walk around is great, as are the various open green areas for hiking, throwing a Frisbee, having family events, bicycling, and general decompressing.
Well worth going to and through it!
