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 day by day itinerary now includes North Cheyenne Canon Park. Get some cultural insight at Western Museum of Mining and Industry and Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site. Peterson Air & Space Museum and Old Colorado City will appeal to history buffs. Get out of town with these interesting Colorado Springs side-trips: Mueller State Park (in Divide) and Outlaw and Lawmen Jail Museum (in Cripple Creek). There's much more to do: take a memorable tour with Colorado Wolf Adventures, tee off at The Broadmoor Golf Courses, stop by Garden of the Gods Trading Post, and identify plant and animal life at Bear Creek Nature Center.
