3 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.

Take a break from Colorado Springs with a short trip to River Rafting & Tubing in Cañon City, about 1h 20 min away. There's lots more to do: walk around Garden of the Gods, see the sights as you ascend with a climbing tour, find something for the whole family at North Pole Colorado Santa’s Workshop, and get to know the resident critters at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.
