We chose Colorado Springs as the location for our 2006 Reunion for many reasons. The city is in a convenient location from Denver, and has it's own major airport. There area also offers many attractions for those of you visiting from out of state. We have tried to list some visitor resources here in case you'd like to take some time to explore the Pikes Peak Area. Hopefully you will find this information useful.
