37 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.

Eschew the tourist crowds and head to North Cheyenne Canon Park and Western Museum of Mining and Industry. Bring the kids along to Garden of the Gods and Will Rogers Memorial Shrine of the Sun. Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Canon City (Royal Gorge Dinosaur Experience, The Winery at Holy Cross Abbey, &more), Divide (Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center & Mueller State Park) and Florissant (Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, Florissant Fossil Quarry, &more). Next up on the itinerary: get your game on at Battlefield Colorado, see the interesting displays at ProRodeo Hall of Fame, don't miss a visit to Starr Kempf's Metal Sculptures, and get engrossed in the history at Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum.
