  • What an impressive place! Not just the beauty and the organization of it, but the respect for the academy and the respect for the service is present. The size of the grounds is immense, and we only stayed on the roads, not having time to go on any of the walking paths. Even though the chapel is currently closed, we still learned a lot through the visitor's center, and the video they showed was informative as well. Would have loved to have had more time here.
  • We visited falcon Trail beautiful view 13 mile hike we did a 4.8 in and out next time we go we're going to do the full 13
  • Views from USAFA are inspiring and give citizens understand how our military leaders are developed
  • Such a beautiful place to go if you get the chance too. Beautiful views and the Cadet Chapel is absolutely breath taking. All the edges are made of stained glass and provide a bunch of natural lighting on the inside!
  • Great place to learn valuable information on how fly fighter jets.
