39 days in Colorado Springs & Manitou 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.

Popular historic sites such as Glen Eyrie Castle and Peterson Air & Space Museum are in your itinerary. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Helen Hunt Falls and North Cheyenne Canon Park. Get out of town with these interesting Colorado Springs side-trips: Kings Deer Golf Club (in Monument) and Canon City (Red Canyon Park & Garden Park Fossil Area). There's lots more to do: trek along Palmer Park, see the interesting displays at Penrose Heritage Museum, stroll around Garden of the Gods, and learn about all things military at National Museum of World War II Aviation.
