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 Historic District and Manitou Cliff Dwellings for their historical value. Step out of the city life by going to River Rafting & Tubing and Colorado Wolf Adventures. Explore Colorado Springs' surroundings by going to Red Rocks Group Campground (in Woodland Park), Cañon City (Royal Gorge Bridge and Park & Skyline Drive) and Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center (in Divide). The adventure continues: walk around Garden of the Gods, hike along Fountain Creek Regional Park, get to know the resident critters at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, and identify plant and animal life at Cottonwood Creek Park.
