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.

Escape the urban bustle at River Rafting & Tubing and Pikes Peak - America's Mountain. Get some historical perspective at Old Colorado City and Manitou Cliff Dwellings. When in Colorado Springs, make a side trip to see Royal Gorge Bridge and Park in Cañon City, approximately Cañon City away. There's lots more to do: walk around Garden of the Gods, examine the collection at Penrose Heritage Museum, brush up on your military savvy at National Museum of World War II Aviation, and head outdoors with Outdoor Activities.
