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.

Family-friendly places like Garden of the Gods and River Rafting & Tubing will thrill your kids. Get out of town with these interesting Colorado Springs side-trips: Cañon City (Royal Gorge Bridge and Park & Skyline Drive). The adventure continues: learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, find something for the whole family at Cave of the Winds Mountain Park, soar above the sights with a balloon tour, and brush up on your military savvy at National Museum of World War II Aviation.
