Driving along I-25 somewhere around Exit 146, high on a hill with a spectacular view of Colorado Springs and Pike's Peak Mountain (yes, that Pike's Peak), is this stunning restaurant and banquet property that is a must visit destination.

It has been awhile since the first time I was here, but it seems more beautiful than I remembered.

Fireplaces (including outdoor) are the perfect setting to enjoy the whole dining experience.

Do have a cocktail in the cozy bar lounge area (smoking permitted) while you gaze at the city and great vista.

The outside terraced area has seen many wedding and business events at this prime spot. (Great buffet staff.)
