The natural beauty of our snow-capped peaks, bike trails and open spaces, access to arts and cultural venues, family attractions, proximity to world-class ski resorts, and over 300 days of sunshine each year enhances the magic that is Colorado Springs. Immortalized in Katherine Lee Bate’s America The Beautiful, Colorado Springs is tucked at the foot of Pikes Peak at an altitude of 6,035 feet. The city was founded in 1871 as a bustling hub for the mining industry and quickly became known as Little London for its affinity to arts and culture. During a rigorous analysis in 2007 including cost of living, climate, education, health and healthcare, crime, transportation, leisure, arts and culture, economy and jobs, and overall quality of life, Colorado Springs has been the envy of many US cities… recently rated “The Best Big City in the nation to live and work”.
