First came Denver, then came Boulder. Today, Colorado Springs joins the fold representing the state of Colorado on Literary City Guides, and once you take a look at tour guide Emilie Lazenby's recommendations, you'll be packing your bags this fall.
Bookstores and wine bars converge, fourteen libraries spread across the city, a brewery is outfitted with a bookshelf so you can read while you sip, and memorable gelato for your afternoon treat fix is nearby. And I haven't even mentioned the gorgeous scenery (see photo above).
