10 days in Colorado Springs Itinerary

Stunning Garden of the Gods Park scenery, blue skies and the glory of Pikes Peak-America’s Mountain have attracted visitors to Colorado Springs for more than a century.

Get in touch with nature at Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center and Tunnel Drive. You'll discover tucked-away gems like Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument and U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum. Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Cripple Creek (Outlaw and Lawmen Jail Museum, Phantom Canyon Road, &more), Florissant Fossil Quarry (in Florissant) and The Winery at Holy Cross Abbey (in Cañon City). And it doesn't end there: get engrossed in the history at ANA Money Museum, let your taste buds guide you at Rocky Mountain Food Tours, surround yourself with nature on Colorado Wolf Adventures, and appreciate the history behind Will Rogers Memorial Shrine of the Sun.
