Spurs n Lace Inn

Learn, in person, the early history of Old Colorado City. After a restful night at Spurs n Lace and a delicious breakfast, begin your getaway by taking a tour of Old Colorado City, using the online web tour app, then stop by the Old Colorado City History Center and view the many displays. Have lunch at a local cafe, then drive to the Trolley Car Museum, housed within the remaining four stalls of the 1888 Rock Island Roundhouse. Each guided tour tells the story of street railways and railroads in Colorado Springs as well as the people who built them. Visit the restoration shop to see a trolley car being restored. Next visit the Steven Pelles Memorial Rock Island Museum. Here, a 70 foot baggage car houses a collection of Rock Island artifacts, memorabilia, and scale models. Best of all, take a streetcar ride in a 1947 SEPTA PCC streetcar along 500 feet of track. In the evening, dine at A local micro- brewery, housed within the 1889 Colorado Midland Roundhouse building. After a hot breakfast the following morning, drive on the gravel road, once the Colorado Springs & Cripple Creek railroad bed, between Bear Creek Canyon and Helen Hunt Falls, passing through two rock-hewn tunnels. A possible side trip is up Ute Pass to view the Divide Railroad Station, then on to Cripple Creek. Parts of this road were built atop the Colorado Midland / Midland Terminal Branch roadbed. Return to Old Colorado City for dinner at A local brew-pub, an old tavern featuring healthy comfort foods. After another great breakfast, visit Ghost Town Museum, a true preservation of Colorado’s western past and a historic look back at an old west town.
