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.

Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Canon City (Skyline Drive & The Abbey Events Complex) and Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine (in Cripple Creek). There's still lots to do: stroll around Garden of the Gods, learn about all things military at National Museum of World War II Aviation, take in the dramatic natural features at Red Rock Canyon Open Space, and admire the sheer force of The Broadmoor Seven Falls.

For where to stay, photos, maps, and other tourist information, you can read our Colorado Springs trip planner.

May in Colorado Springs sees daily highs of °F and lows of °F at night. Finish your sightseeing early on the 28th (Thu) to allow enough time to travel back home.
