2 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.

Kick off your visit on the 30th (Wed): walk around Garden of the Gods, then learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, and then make a trip to Glen Eyrie Castle. Get ready for a full day of sightseeing on the next day: examine the collection at Penrose Heritage Museum, take an in-depth tour of Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum, then find something for the whole family at North Pole Colorado Santa’s Workshop, and finally take in the dramatic natural features at Red Rock Canyon Open Space.
