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.

Get in touch with nature at Mueller State Park and Memorial Park. Western Museum of Mining and Industry and ProRodeo Hall of Fame will appeal to museum buffs. Change things up with a short trip to Outlaw and Lawmen Jail Museum in Cripple Creek (about 1h 5 min away). There's much more to do: surround yourself with nature on Colorado Wolf Adventures, take an in-depth tour of Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum, examine the collection at Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center, and explore the world behind art at Michael Garman Museum & Gallery.
