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 outdoors at River Rafting & Tubing and Colorado Wolf Adventures. Bring the kids along to Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak - America's Mountain. Explore Colorado Springs' surroundings by going to Red Rocks Group Campground (in Woodland Park), Canon City (Royal Gorge Regional Museum and History Center & Skyline Drive) and Divide (Mueller State Park & Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center). Pack the 26th (Sat) with family-friendly diversions at Cave of the Winds Mountain Park. There's lots more to do: learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, brush up on your military savvy at National Museum of World War II Aviation, look for all kinds of wild species at North Cheyenne Canon Park, and shop like a local with Manitou Cliff Dwellings.
