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 River Rafting & Tubing and North Cheyenne Canon Park. Get some historical perspective at Old Colorado City and Manitou Cliff Dwellings. Get out of town with these interesting Colorado Springs side-trips: Pikes Peak Historical Society Museum (in Florissant), Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center (in Divide) and Red Rocks Group Campground (in Woodland Park). There's much more to do: walk around Garden of the Gods, admire nature's wide array of creatures at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, deepen your understanding at United States Air Force Academy, and get engrossed in the history at Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum.
