Now, the town puts you near historic buildings, parks, and great food. Visit Bishop Castle, a fortress created solely by Jim Bishop — who is still building today — that reaches over 16 stories tall, contains three cathedral windows, a steel fire-breathing dragon, and a gift shop where you can pick up souvenirs. Enjoy small-town hospitality when dining at Rye Cafe, which serves everything from biscuits and gravy to steak dinners. If you’re craving some barbecue, Obie’s Fillin’ Station serves pulled pork, slow-cooked brisket, ribs, and burgers, and the restaurant offers takeout, so you can grab your food and enjoy an intimate meal at your vacation rental.

2. Florence
Florence vacation destinations place you nearby the Desert Reef Hot Spring. These naturally-heated hot springs are a great place to unwind while soaking in the warm water and enjoying the peaceful desert atmosphere. Before heading to the springs, be sure to check if they’re open, as the resort closes a few days out of the week. If you want to sight-see, Florence has a 20-block downtown area with a local art center, antique stores, and a grocery store in case you’re hungry. As you venture west of town, you’ll discover the Royal Gorge Bridge, voted as the “number-one place to steal a kiss” by Colorado.com and the highest suspension bridge in the world. When you start to get hungry, Ito Japanese Steakhouse Sushi & Thai Restaurant is an excellent place for lunch or dinner, and Papa’s Italian Restaurant is a good choice for delicious comfort food, such as fettuccine Alfredo, stuffed mushrooms, and a brownie sundae.
