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.

Your cultural itinerary includes sights like Penrose Heritage Museum and Old Homestead House Museum. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center and Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument. Step out of Colorado Springs with an excursion to The Winery at Holy Cross Abbey in Canon City--about 1h 05 min away. Next up on the itinerary: look for gifts at Focus on the Family Bookstore, explore the historical opulence of Miramont Castle Museum, identify plant and animal life at Bear Creek Nature Center, and take in a show at Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College.
