4 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.

Step off the beaten path and head to Penrose Heritage Museum and Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum. Venture out of the city with trips to River Rafting & Tubing (in Cañon City), Cripple Creek (Old Homestead House Museum & Phantom Canyon Road) and Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center (in Divide). Next up on the itinerary: walk around Garden of the Gods, pause for some photo ops at Will Rogers Memorial Shrine of the Sun, take an in-depth tour of U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum, and learn the secrets of beer at Rocky Mountain Food Tours.
