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.

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center and Penrose Heritage Museum. Escape the urban bustle at Palmer Park and Seven Bridges Trail. Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Tunnel Drive (in Cañon City), Old Homestead House Museum (in Cripple Creek) and Mueller State Park (in Divide). Next up on the itinerary: see the interesting displays at ProRodeo Hall of Fame, sample some tasty brews at Rocky Mountain Food Tours, get engrossed in the history at U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum, and contemplate the long history of Western Museum of Mining and Industry.
