Colorado Springs Map

A great way to get around when you visit Colorado Springs is to buy a Colorado Springs map.

Below, this photo shows a view of Colorado Springs near the base of Pikes Peak. Sheer beauty all the way!

The best way to get around is by car. Things are pretty spread out so walking will not get you far. There are city buses, but a car is pretty much a necessity. If you fly into Colorado Springs, plan to rent a vehicle. If you don't, you won't be able to drive up beautiful Pike's Peak, and, trust me, you definitely do want to!

I-25 is the freeway running through the city north and south. US Highway 24 runs east and west through Colorado Springs.

Almost all of the roads are in great condition. The traffic is not bad at all in comparison to San Antonio, Dallas, or Los Angeles. It is pretty easy to get around and you can always look up and see a mountain to know in what direction you are headed.

I suggest buying a Colorado Springs map before you arrive. Study it so you have a general idea of where you will be going and you should be fine.

Another great idea is to buy a GPS unit or rent a vehicle with a GPS unit in it. They are amazing tools to help you get around.

Most of the time in the winter, driving conditions are not that bad in Colorado Springs. The snow comes and goes. It does not stay throughout the winter the way that it does in Denver. Chains or snow tires are not required, but when the snow is coming down, you need to use extra caution, especially if you are not used to driving in snow.

If you visit in the summer, driving is no problem at all. Most of the time, with the wide open roads, driving is a pleasure.

There are very few traffic jams in the city, even during rush hour. Downtown driving is not even that bad, amazingly.

A Colorado Springs map should include the points of interest in the city and some of the surrounding areas. A lot of what you see is beautiful nature, but there are also a lot of stores, museums, and other indoor things that you will want to see.
