6 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 Canon City (Royal Gorge Regional Museum and History Center, River Rafting & Tubing, &more), Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center (in Divide) and Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine (in Cripple Creek). Pack the 1st (Wed) with family-friendly diversions at Cave of the Winds Mountain Park. And it doesn't end there: stroll around Garden of the Gods, brush up on your military savvy at National Museum of World War II Aviation, look for gifts at Manitou Cliff Dwellings, and take in the dramatic scenery at The Broadmoor Seven Falls.
