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 Horseback Riding Tours and Will Rogers Memorial Shrine of the Sun. Bring the kids along to Garden of the Gods and North Cheyenne Canon Park. Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Florissant (Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, Florissant Fossil Quarry, &more), Divide (Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center & Mueller State Park) and Canon City (Royal Gorge Dinosaur Experience, The Winery at Holy Cross Abbey, &more). There's still lots to do: get your game on at Battlefield Colorado, make a trip to Starr Kempf's Metal Sculptures, see the interesting displays at Penrose Heritage Museum, and take an in-depth tour of Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum.
