5 days in Colorado Springs Itinerary

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Penrose Heritage Museum and Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site. Popular historic sites such as Old Homestead House Museum 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 48 minutes away. There's still lots to do: trek along Seven Bridges Trail, take an in-depth tour of U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum, tour the pleasant surroundings at Palmer Park, and take in the awesome beauty at Cheyenne Mountain State Park.
