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.

Visit Old Colorado City and Manitou Cliff Dwellings for their historical value. Visiting Pikes Peak - America's Mountain and Horseback Riding Tours will get you outdoors. Explore Colorado Springs' surroundings by going to Cañon City (Royal Gorge Bridge and Park & Skyline Drive) and Victor's Gold Camp Ag & Mining Museum (in Victor). There's still lots to do: stroll around Garden of the Gods, see the interesting displays at Miramont Castle Museum, deepen your knowledge of military history at United States Air Force Academy, and admire the sheer force of The Broadmoor Seven Falls.
