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.

Explore hidden gems such as Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum and Penrose Heritage Museum. Museum-lovers will appreciate Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center and Miramont Castle Museum. Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Old Homestead House Museum (in Cripple Creek), Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center (in Divide) and Canon City (The Winery at Holy Cross Abbey & Tunnel Drive). And it doesn't end there: examine the collection at Michael Garman Museum & Gallery, look for gifts at Focus on the Family Bookstore, find something for the whole family at North Pole Colorado Santa’s Workshop, and tour the pleasant surroundings at Palmer Park.
