Watch your step!
Does cactus grow in the Colorado Springs area? Yes it does. I know this prickly pear looks cute but it's actually pretty darn lethal, mostly because it doesn't get very big at this altitude. When something's only six inches tall, you don't see it until you're about to step on it. And if you happen to be wearing canvas or open-toed shoes, you will have a painful surprise. All I can say is, watch your step!
