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.

Venture out of the city with trips to Cañon City (Royal Gorge Regional Museum and History Center, River Rafting & Tubing, &more). Pack the 12th (Thu) with family-friendly diversions at Cave of the Winds Mountain Park. There's still lots to do: admire nature's wide array of creatures at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, see the interesting displays at Miramont Castle Museum, admire the sheer force of The Broadmoor Seven Falls, and take in the dramatic natural features at Red Rock Canyon Open Space.

To see where to stay, reviews, photos, and other tourist information, go to the Colorado Springs day trip planner.

In August, plan for daily highs up to 83°F, and evening lows to 56°F.
