Rockledge Country Inn is perfectly situated to take advantage of all the sites and attractions that the Pikes Peak region has to offer. Within walking distance is the historic town of Manitou Springs, home to nine mineral springs that were the initial draw for visitors to this area—these days it has much more to offer as well. From Manitou you can take the world's highest cog railroad, the Manitou and Pikes Peak Railway, to the top of Pikes Peak at an elevation of 14,110. If heights aren't what you're looking for, but you'd rather explore the depths, then consider exploring beautiful Cave of the Winds in Manitou Springs or scenic Royal Gorge in nearby Canon City. If you wish to not only marvel at God's creation, then also nearby you can witness the incredible, man-made Cliff Dwellings or Miramont Castle.
Nestled at the foot of Pikes Peak also gives rise to tremendous outdoor recreational opportunities including, but not limited to: skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, horseback riding, hiking, river rafting and kayaking, golf, fishing and even some not-so-typical activities like hot air ballooning. Boasting a surprising 300 days of sunshine per year, the beauty and splendor of the landscape, along with the temperate climate encourages outdoor pursuits year-round.
