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.

Your cultural itinerary includes sights like Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum and Penrose Heritage Museum. Eschew the tourist crowds and head to ANA Money Museum and Peterson Air & Space Museum. Venture out of the city with trips to Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center (in Divide), Museum of Colorado Prisons (in Canon City) and Cripple Creek (Cripple Creek District Museum & Old Homestead House Museum). The adventure continues: see the interesting displays at ProRodeo Hall of Fame, look for gifts at Commonwheel Artists Co-op, contemplate the long history of Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site, and take in a show at Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College.
