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.

Appreciate the collections at U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum and Western Museum of Mining and Industry. Popular historic sites such as Old Homestead House Museum and Peterson Air & Space Museum are in your itinerary. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Colorado Springs: Divide (Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center & Mueller State Park) and Outlaw and Lawmen Jail Museum (in Cripple Creek). The adventure continues: get engrossed in the history at Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum, walk around Garden of the Gods, examine the collection at Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center, and shake up your sightseeing with a climbing tour.
