We are coming to Colorado Springs next week and have been there every year for a while and have done about every "tourist" thing there so I'm looking for ideas for something to do within about an hours drive of Colorado Springs. I'd love ideas on scenic drives, or great hiking places, that aren't too strenuous. Just need some new ideas. Any suggestions?

There's a nice hike to Devil's Head Lookout, north of Colorado Springs. I hiked it with my Mom a few years back (she's in her 70's).

Have you hiked Waldo Canyon, west of Colorado Springs? It gets busy, best to go on a week day.

I hiked this one years ago, the trail has been improved since then:
