An Easter Event for Everyone

Easter is more than a holiday. It’s a sentiment — a celebration of the coming season, the colors of spring, and, like any true holiday, sweets, treats, and culinary feasts. This Easter, we are pulling out all the stops and brightly dyed eggs for a festive event for the whole family. Satiate the senses of the tyke-sized crowd at the Bunny Patch Kids’ Buffet complete with Bunny-Milk Pancakes, Peter Rabbit PB&Js, and Easter shaped mac ‘n’ cheese. The over 21 crowd has Easter-themed options too, like the Bunny Mary — think carrot juice instead of tomato. Also on the menu, green eggs and ham-wiches, bone-in pesto-stuffed leg of lamb, and fennel-crusted salmon to name a few. The full and filling menu is topped off with all the fun events and festivities that, of course, no Easter celebration would be complete without!

A Railroad Affair to Remember

For more than 100 years, passengers have taken to the rails to take in one of Colorado’s most scenic spots: the Royal Gorge. Whether traveling through to Salt Lake City or simply enjoying a day-trip, the canyon has called to those far and wide. This year, the railroad journey will transform into one of Valentine’s Day’s most romantic rides. Take your Valentine out for lunch or dinner with seats in the train’s dome for uninterrupted views of the Royal Gorge’s wintery landscape. Or, go back in time with an all-out Murder Mystery experience, set during the infamous 1928 St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. Either way, enjoy a delicious three-course meal, a complimentary glass of sparkling wine, and a rose for your sweetheart. Whether it’s a romantic meal with your loved one or an adventurous mystery to solve, it’s sure to be a moment to remember.

A Perfectly Paired Spring Affair

If you’re looking for reasons to fall in love with Colorado, our number one would be the 300 days of sun our state sees. For us, that means when summer fever hits come spring, we can still head out for a tee-off on the green. Make it a couple’s affair on our Pete Dye-designed championship course with our Tee for Two package. Start the day off right with an award-winning breakfast at Mountain View Restaurant. Once you’re powered up, gear up for a day on the green with a round or two of golf. When you’re satisfied, settle in for a soothing and restful custom massage for two, where you can sink into total relaxation while your worries and cares disappear. Cap it all off with your significant other with a stunning view of the setting sun from your private patio, knowing tomorrow you can do it all again.

A Christmas Day Brunch to Remember

Thanksgiving may be over, but the holiday culinary action is just beginning. From Pink Peppercorn Dusted Alaskan Halibut to Champagne Vanilla Smoked Shrimp and Cranberry Orange Bundt Cake, you could say our Holiday Dinner Buffets—held every Friday and Saturday before Christmas and on Christmas Eve—are the true spirit of the season. Don’t forget to check out Sunday Brunch with Santa so your little ones can tell the big guy what they want for Christmas! These all help make way for the main event: the Christmas Day Brunch. The snow-inspired holiday should be special, and we aim to serve it up just so—think bottomless Champagne and Mimosas for the adult crowd and a binge-worthy buffet of Chicken Tenders and Nutella French Toast for the kneehigh herd—because what the season is truly about is spending it with the ones you love. So bring your family, and your appetite, and settle in for a culinary rendezvous to remember.

 

A Christmas Culinary Encounter

The holidays are a busy time of the year—Halloween takes us to Thanksgiving, which brings us to Christmas, just in time to ring in the New Year one week later. As Christmas approaches, the things we all want more of are the warm, spicy, and indulgently sweet flavors of the season. Do spiced eggnog, prime rib, and gingerbread cake come to mind? Rest assured, we have you covered, so all you have to think about is holiday shopping. From our Holiday Dinner Buffets every Friday and Saturday leading up to Christmas to our Sunday Brunch with Santa each week, and our can’t-miss Christmas Day Brunch, your December will be filled with the best that Colorado Springs’ culinary community can offer. So bring your appetite and let us feed your palate and your Christmas spirit.

Ride the Rails this Holiday Season

Colorado’s rich mining and pioneering past have left several historic railroad routes—from Durango-Silverton to Cripple Creek-Victor Narrow Gauge—to experience the state from a "days past" perspective. This winter, hop on Colorado Springs’ favorite route, the Royal Gorge Railroad. Feel the crisp air and watch the snow falling as you enjoy the scenic route through the Royal Gorge Canyon of the Arkansas River. With steep cliffs, a roaring river, and winter all around you, you’ll feel like you’ve entered a different world. But the train isn’t just about the history, views, and terrain. Each holiday season the train at Royal Gorge Railroad transforms into the Santa Express. Bring the whole family or channel your inner child with sing-a-longs to your favorite Christmas songs, a special holiday menu with locally sourced options, cookies and hot cocoa, and a special gift from Santa and his elves upon arrival at the North Pole. Dress code: pajamas encouraged!

Focus on Your Nearest and Dearest This Thanksgiving

Whether you have family visiting from out of town or simply want to gather with those nearest and dearest, Thanksgiving is all about spending time with the ones we love. In our opinion, the best way to do that is to put all your focus on your family and leave the preparation to us. From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. your family can indulge in some of the season’s best flavors at our Thanksgiving Day Brunch. On top of the complimentary champagne, treat your taste buds to traditional staples with a twist such as Sage-Apple-Cider Brined Turkey, Pancetta-Chestnut Bread Stuffing, and Traditional Pumpkin and Pecan Pies. Or think unconventionally with treats like Cranberry Orange French Toast, Cold Smoked Icelandic Salmon, and Sticky Toffee Pudding with Vanilla Ice Cream. Whichever way you go, your bellies and hearts will be full as they should be this time of year.

The Thriving Spirit of Historic Colorado Springs

With rugged mountainscapes surrounding Colorado’s second-largest city, more than 300 days of sunshine encouraging outdoor excursions year-round, and the impressive sights that have inspired a nation—America’s Mountain is in our backyard—it’s no wonder Colorado Springs’ history stems from the combined draw of the adventures and relaxation of resort living. After all, it was Civil War General William Jackson Palmer who stumbled upon Colorado Springs’ scenic views and helped establish it as a must-see destination and Victorian-era spa town. Though much has changed, that spirit remains the same in the city and its surroundings to this day. Hike or Segway through Garden of the Gods, where a friend of General Palmer’s once owned land. Soak up a spa experience like our predecessors at Alluvia Spa and Wellness Retreat, discover the flavors of the Centennial State with the Colorado-inspired menu at Mountain View Restaurant, and feel the city’s history come alive!

Top Reasons to See Colorado Springs in the Fall

Fall’s changing colors are coming and the best way to experience the thrill of the season is to channel your inner adrenaline junkie. Colorado Springs’ highlights only become more breathtaking as the leaves change, making for a whole new experience, even if you’ve done it before. Hop on two wheels and cycle down Pikes Peak — the inspiration behind "America the Beautiful" — to see the deer, elk, bighorn sheep, and vegetation as you pass through five unique life zones. Colorado is gorgeous as seen from the ground, but take your perspective to the sky on a Royal Gorge Helicopter Tour and watch the earth below come alive. Or, for a ride as breathtaking as the view, take it in on a sunrise hot air balloon flight complete with champagne, breakfast, and the best pilots in the west. If staying closer to the ground is more your style, rock climbing among the autumn aspen trees at Garden of the Gods and exploring Pike National Forest on a horseback ride rank among the top ways to experience the Colorado Springs area.

 

Swing Through Colorado Springs’ Championship Golf Course

With nearly 7,000 yards of greens, angled doglegs, and sandtraps, the Pete Dye-designed championship golf course at the Country Club of Colorado at Cheyenne Mountain Resort is the perfect course for golfers of any level to putt, chip, and draw. Take to the 18-hole course for fun or to push your limits in a friendly tournament like the 4 Ball Match Play. Push yourself even more and take your golf swing skills up a notch with one-on-one or group instruction from PGA professionals, here to help you reach your full potential no matter your skill level. Then, round out your t-time with golf geared packages that cover all the bases like the Tee for Two — two nights’ accommodations, two rounds of golf, two 50-minute massages, and daily breakfast — or the Birdies, Brews & Burritos — nightly accommodation, breakfast sandwich and coffee, craft beers, a welcome amenity, and one round of golf per day.
