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.

Explore hidden gems such as Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center and Palmer Park. Let the collections at Penrose Heritage Museum and Miramont Castle Museum capture your imagination. Get out of town with these interesting Colorado Springs side-trips: Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument (in Florissant), Old Homestead House Museum (in Cripple Creek) and Mueller State Park (in Divide). There's lots more to do: stop by Focus on the Family Bookstore, see the interesting displays at Michael Garman Museum & Gallery, steep yourself in history at Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site, and identify plant and animal life at Bear Creek Nature Center.
