11 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.

Attractions like Cheyenne Mountain Zoo and Cave of the Winds Mountain Park make great kid-friendly stops. Get out of town with these interesting Colorado Springs side-trips: Cañon City (Royal Gorge Regional Museum and History Center, River Rafting & Tubing, &more) and Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center (in Divide). There's much more to do: brush up on your military savvy at National Museum of World War II Aviation, explore the historical opulence of Glen Eyrie Castle, explore the striking landscape at Red Rock Canyon Open Space, and admire all the interesting features of Pikes Peak - America's Mountain.
