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 inner history buff will appreciate Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site and Old Homestead House Museum. Escape the urban bustle at Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center and Bear Creek Nature Center. Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Mueller State Park (in Divide) and Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument (in Florissant). The adventure continues: see the interesting displays at Penrose Heritage Museum, look for gifts at Focus on the Family Bookstore, explore the world behind art at Michael Garman Museum & Gallery, and stroll through Palmer Park.
