12 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.

Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center and North Cheyenne Canon Park. Visiting River Rafting & Tubing and Mueller State Park will get you outdoors. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Colorado Springs: Red Rocks Group Campground (in Woodland Park), Cañon City (Royal Gorge Bridge and Park & Tunnel Drive) and Horsethief Falls (in Divide). There's still lots to do: look for all kinds of wild species at Colorado Wolf Adventures, take your sightseeing to a higher altitude at Cheyenne Mountain State Park, trek along Seven Bridges Trail, and see the interesting displays at U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum.
