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 outdoors at Red Rock Canyon Open Space and Bear Creek Nature Center. Visit Denver Union Station and Glen Eyrie Castle for their historical value. Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Hidden Mesa Open Space & Trail (in Castle Rock), Denver (National Ballpark Museum, Denver Art Museum, &more) and Butterfly Pavilion and Insect Center (in Westminster). There's still lots to do: hike along Manitou Springs Incline, view the masterpieces at Commonwheel Artists Co-op, walk around Garden of the Gods, and get in on the family fun at North Pole Colorado Santa’s Workshop.
