Visit Colorado Springs: The Adventure is You

We see you. Yeah, you. Turning that pile of clean laundry into a pillow fort. Pitching a tent in your backyard and roasting s’mores over the stovetop. We see you—creating masterpieces on the sidewalk and dreaming up imaginary places in the clouds. We see you—visiting museums and operas from your sofa. Attending living room concerts in your slippers and virtual tours from under the covers. We see you, explorers. You see, you can take adventure away from the explorer. But you can never take the explorer away from adventure. They find a way. And the truth is: Colorado Springs isn’t the adventure. You are. Rafting is just a river without your paddle. Ziplining is just a route without you daring to soar. And the mountains are just a landscape without you to blaze a new trail. The adventure is you. And while our community does its part to keep our neighbors safe from harm—we’ll be here when it’s all over. Ready—for your next adventure.

In a time where we’re all longing for adventure and exploration and, yet, stuck at home in order to protect our neighbors and slow the spread of COVID-19, Visit Colorado Springs reminds us that we are the adventure—not our destination.

With the lockdown prompted by the Covid-19 pandemics, one of the very few situations where people are allowed to go outside their homes was to walk their dogs. To raise awareness on dog adoptions in a time when the topic is at the bottom of the priorities list, HappyTails civic initiative group launched a campaign portraying people walking their dogs during the pandemic. Besides having a companion that will improve the overall quality of life, adopting a dog or cat will give you an extra reason to leave your house and be more active. To encourage responsible adoptions, the volunteers at HappyTails are thoroughly screening future owners and are performing personality matchmaking tests to ensure there’s a perfect fit between each animal and those who intend to adopt them.
