5 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.

Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Cañon City (Royal Gorge Bridge and Park & River Rafting & Tubing). There's much more to do: walk around Garden of the Gods, find something for the whole family at North Pole Colorado Santa’s Workshop, learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, and wander the streets of Old Colorado City.
