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.

Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum and Seven Bridges Trail. Get in touch with nature at Palmer Park and Adventures Out West. Take a break from Colorado Springs with a short trip to Mueller State Park in Divide, about 42 minutes away. There's lots more to do: see the interesting displays at Western Museum of Mining and Industry, take your sightseeing to a higher altitude at Cheyenne Mountain State Park, get engrossed in the history at United States Olympic & Paralympic Museum, and brush up on your military savvy at Peterson Air & Space Museum.
