16 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.

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Penrose Heritage Museum and Room Escape Games. Explore Colorado Springs' surroundings by going to Pueblo (Pueblo Weisbrod Aircraft Museum & Historic Arkansas Riverwalk of Pueblo), Evergreen Lake (in Evergreen) and Guanella Pass (in Georgetown). There's lots more to do: appreciate the extensive heritage of Glen Eyrie Castle, take an in-depth tour of Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum, trek along Palmer Park, and learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.

For maps, photos, where to stay, and other tourist information, use the Colorado Springs road trip site.

In December, daily temperatures in Colorado Springs can reach 45°F, while at night they dip to 18°F. Finish your sightseeing early on the 5th (Sun) to allow enough time to travel back home.
