28 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.

Bring the kids along to Garden of the Gods and Cave of the Winds Mountain Park. Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Canon City (Skyline Drive, Royal Gorge Anglers, & more), Cripple Creek (Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine, Shelf Rd, & more) and Victor (Victor's Gold Camp Ag & Mining Museum & Vindicator Valley Trail). There's still lots to do: take in the pleasant sights at Pike's Peak - America's Mountain, admire the sheer force of The Broadmoor Seven Falls, get to know the resident critters at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, and deepen your knowledge of military history at United States Air Force Academy.
