A VISIT TO
Paint Mines Interpretive Park NEAR COLORADO SPRINGS DOESN’T DISAPPOINT By Bette Erickson
The outing to Paint Mines Interpretive Park in El Paso County was on a Tuesday. For you, that is the day after Monday. For me, it was a day that, like the other six, brimmed with the potential for mystery, adventure, and awe. It was a couple months ago that my friend and I found ourselves in Colorado Springs for a mini-staycation. Always on the lookout for great parks or interesting hikes, we located the Paint Mines Interpretive Park, venturing out for a morning of exploration and hiking.
