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.

Take a break from the city and head to Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center and Bear Creek Nature Center. Get some cultural insight at Penrose Heritage Museum and ANA Money Museum. Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument (in Florissant), Old Homestead House Museum (in Cripple Creek) and The Winery at Holy Cross Abbey (in Canon City). The adventure continues: explore the world behind art at Michael Garman Museum & Gallery, look for gifts at Focus on the Family Bookstore, see the interesting displays at Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center, and enjoy some music at Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College.
