25 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.

Visit Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site and Peterson Air & Space Museum for their historical value. Get a sense of the local culture at Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum and Western Museum of Mining and Industry. Get out of town with these interesting Colorado Springs side-trips: Victor (Isis Theatre & Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company), Cripple Creek (Old Homestead House Museum, Outlaw and Lawmen Jail Museum, &more) and Divide (Mueller State Park & Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center). Spend the 14th (Sat) exploring nature at Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument. There's still lots to do: examine the collection at ProRodeo Hall of Fame, make a trip to Ivywild School, surround yourself with nature on Colorado Wolf Adventures, and take an in-depth tour of U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum.
