From the luxurious Broadmoor Hotel to the historic Antlers Hotel, where Katherine Lee Bates penned the words to 'America the Beautiful,' the book invites readers to explore the rich history and culture of the area. The stunning sandstone formations of the Garden of the Gods and the majestic Glen Eyrie, the residence of Colorado Springs founder General William Jackson Palmer, are also featured, providing a glimpse into the region's natural beauty and historical significance.

Adventurers can hike through North Cheyenne Cañon, marvel at the cascading waters of Seven Falls, and journey up Cheyenne Mountain to visit the Will Rogers Shrine of the Sun.
