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.

Explore Colorado Springs' surroundings by going to Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine (in Cripple Creek) and Cañon City (Skyline Drive & River Rafting & Tubing). There's much more to do: walk around Garden of the Gods, take in the dramatic scenery at Helen Hunt Falls, meet the residents at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, and learn about all things military at National Museum of World War II Aviation.
