Lions and leaves and Moose, oh my!

One of our Chamber spokesdogs, Moose, stopped by to show off his Halloween costume, and naturally, he had to have a little photo shoot!

With all those beautiful fall colors around Manitou Springs, it's the perfect time for a stroll through the forest. Or at least a little walk down Manitou Avenue.
