A week before school start, I been to Colorado.
Even though it was a 10 hours drive trip from Columbia to Colorado, still fun because I was the one slept all the way to Colorado.
We checked in to the BEST WESTERN ACEDEMY HOTEL: It was a reasonable price hotel come with a nice location, facilities and breakfast. After settled down everything, we rushing to our first destination, US Olympic Training Center. It is the free admission attractions place with come with a tour guide showing you around the training center.
I found out Malaysia flag in the US Olympic Training Center
Next, Ghost Town Museum is located in Colorado Springs. The term "Ghost and Town" came to my mind was scary, and dark place. Guess what!Actually means turn back your watch 100 years before, there were a true preservation's of Colorado western past, fun and historic look back at kind of old west town that used to dot this region during the 1800's and 1900's.
Then, coming to Garden of Gods, a place that surrounding by magnificent red sandstone rock formations over 300 millions years old and were sculpted through time by the forces of nature. There are approxitemetely 19 types of rock formations but we just been to few of it due to the lack of time rushing to next destination to see sunset in the Pikes Peak.

We going to drive through the summit but.......drive until half way we just realized that our car run out of gas. So, we drop by a small town to fill up the gas and found out there was a little town caled Manitou Spring which surrounding by seven natural spring water.

Cheyenne Spring Water
Dinner time!We drove all the way back to our hotel to hunt for our dinner. Finally, we got into a Japanese restaurant which was nice environment but the food was taste bad. My friend got a sashimi set. Guess what? He found out there was some bone in the salmon! *Ridiculous! Then we called up our server to find out!Did you know what does the server said?"Fish of course contains bones".......In the moment, all of us stunt for a second!.......
Next day, Pikes Peak, the most visited mountain in North America and the second most visited mountain in the world behind Japan's Mount Fuji. You can reach there by Pikes Peak Cog Railway, Barr Trail, or Pikes Peak Highway. We used the Pikes Peak highway which is ONLY 19miles drive to reach the summit. Mount Kota Kinabalu (13435 feet) should considered to build a highway to reach the summit. "US boleh, MALAYSIA JUGA BOLEH!".....This will attract more visitors around the world!

Ended up our Colorado Spring and drove all the ways to HotSpring. When we reached our cabin, there were few deers welcoming us!*Wee....After settled down, we rushed to the natural hotspring to relieve my tiredness!Here's the crystal clear hotspring river!
