| The bustle and the skyline certainly have changed since General William Jackson Palmer lived here; traffic moves faster and the buildings are taller. This city of 400,000 people has grown way beyond its early boundaries. But the Colorado Springs the early founders helped top build can still be found: it is beckoning to you from the Gothic and Romanesque roof lines, the grand old homes, the tree-lined boulevards and gardens, and the turn-of-the-century architecture. The Colorado Springs of today and yesterday is waiting for you. On this walk you can see it all. Special attractions: The park, historic homes and buildings, downtown bustle, museums, architecture, interesting shops and restaurants- this is the entire downtown show. |
