Garden of the Gods--quite beautiful red sandstone formations
The Olympic Training Complex
Pikes Peak--a bit of a drive, if I remember correctly, but a well-trip in the Colorado area. Absolutely gorgeous scenery.
Then, of course, there's FOTF which is impressive and worthwhile in itself! |

The Air Force Academy Chapel is also an impressive building. And I agree^, Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak (if you can handle the white knuckle drive) are well worth the trips.

They've already said everything I could think of... but if you're looking for a good restaurant, go to Gunther Toodee's (I think that's how it's spelled). It's kind of like a Ruby's or a Johnny Rocket's.

The only show you can watch is Dobson's, but I'm not sure how that works. I'd take the tour and go to Whit's End (if there is a tour, I visited 5 years ago and my memory is kinda fuzzy regarding that day).

| I was there seven years ago, and in the FOTF tour, I think they show you where to go to watch Dr. Dobson. You'd have to ask when, though... |

| I have been to Pikes peak, The Air Force Academy Chapel And the Garden of the Gods. All wonderful areas. Also the Caves of the Winds is a wonderful place close by. |
