Colorado Springs is a beautiful city in Southern Colorado, at an elevation of 6,035 feet, with a population of approximately 320,000. In the winter visitors can see the snow covered mountains and the most prominent is Pikes Peak. The sun shines frequently in the winter so the snow melts quickly off the roads, however it can be seen in the hills and wooded areas.
Colorado Springs is a major tourist attraction, as well as a host to several military bases.
James Dobson broadcasts his Christian radio show, heard by millions daily, from Colorado Springs.
