Denver might be the Mile High City to the rest of the world, but in the shadow of the world-famous Pikes Peak sits Colorado Springs, where much of the city is actually located significantly more than a mile above sea level. Not to mention, Colorado Springs is also the largest city in Colorado by area—no big deal, Denver!

As big and as high as Colorado Springs is, it's no wonder folks from all around the world come to visit. Pikes Peak and the close proximity to the Rocky Mountains have made the area a well-known destination for approximately 150 years. And since then, attractions like the United States Air Force Academy, Old Colorado City, the Olympic Training Center, and Cheyenne Mountain Zoo have more than supplemented the city's tourism income.

Colorado Springs residents are as enamored with the outdoors as the tourists who visit the area, and they regularly spend a significant portion of their time exploring nearby splendors, like Garden of the Gods. ADT offers an extensive amount of home services throughout Colorado, which includes home monitoring plans that can help you feel more secure about leaving your property unattended while traveling out into the wilderness. You'll also appreciate ADT's environmentally conscious home automation offerings, which can make your home more energy efficient whether you're away on a backpacking trip or at home resting up for another hike.
