My personal favorite. Great fresh food, charming atmosphere, great art on the walls, and the best patio seating around (when it's warm!). Pricier for dinner, lunches are cheaper... But worth it.

Seriously the BEST donuts in Colorado Springs! In fun shapes of horses and horseshoes. There's always one specialty donut each day. And you need to get there by noon if possible, because sometimes they sell out.

Parks & Nature
I go here many times a week with my dog. Lots of trails, beautiful Forest Preserve. You can also hike Mt. Herman, but you need to continue driving past the trailhead on the Mt. Herman road for another 15 minutes or so to a big S curve with room for about 4 cars. This is the start for the trail going up the mountain.
