3 days in Pikes Peak Region 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.

Your day by day itinerary now includes Garden of the Gods. Venture out of the city with trips to Cañon City (Royal Gorge Bridge and Park & River Rafting & Tubing). There's still lots to do: head outdoors with Outdoor Activities and deepen your understanding at United States Air Force Academy.
