Coronavirus in Colorado Springs
Howdy Friends,
Colorado has just moved from a “Stay at Home” order to a “Safer at Home.” A few of our attractions are beginning to open as they are able to implement additional cleaning policies and employee health checks. See the very bottom of this page for a list of what they’re doing to help keep you safe.
Many of the small local restaurants in Old Colorado City and Manitou Springs are offering curbside, takeout or delivery. Check them out here: Curbside Restaurants.
Thank you all for your support during this difficult time. Please chat with us online here or on our social channels @VisitPikesPeak. We’re stuck at home and need the human interaction! Be well!
