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.

Visiting The Broadmoor Soaring Adventure and North Cheyenne Canon Park will get you outdoors. National Museum of World War II Aviation and Michael Garman Museum & Gallery are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Venture out of the city with trips to Divide (Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center & Mueller State Park). There's much more to do: get to know the fascinating history of Old Colorado City, take in the dramatic natural features at Red Rock Canyon Open Space, find something for the whole family at North Pole Colorado Santa’s Workshop, and take a memorable drive along Pikes Peak - America's Mountain.
