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.

Kids will appreciate attractions like Garden of the Gods and United States Air Force Academy. Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Canon City (The Abbey Events Complex, River Rafting & Tubing, &more). Pack the 23rd (Sun) with family-friendly diversions at Cave of the Winds Mountain Park. There's much more to do: get to know the resident critters at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, take in the dramatic natural features at Red Rock Canyon Open Space, get to know the fascinating history of Old Colorado City, and brush up on your military savvy at National Museum of World War II Aviation.
