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.

Venture out of the city with trips to Cañon City (Royal Gorge Bridge and Park, River Rafting & Tubing, &more) and Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine (in Cripple Creek). There's still lots to do: walk around Garden of the Gods, get in on the family fun at Cave of the Winds Mountain Park, appreciate the extensive heritage of Old Colorado City, and meet the residents at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.

To find photos, reviews, where to stay, and other tourist information, go to the Colorado Springs trip builder website.

In August, plan for daily highs up to 83°F, and evening lows to 56°F.
