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 Penrose Heritage Museum and Old Homestead House Museum. Popular historic sites such as Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site and Western Museum of Mining and Industry are in your itinerary. Go for a jaunt from Colorado Springs to Divide to see Mueller State Park about 42 minutes away. There's still lots to do: trek along Palmer Park, take an in-depth tour of U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum, tour the pleasant surroundings at Seven Bridges Trail, and take in the awesome beauty at Cheyenne Mountain State Park.
