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.

Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center and Peterson Air & Space Museum. Get some historical perspective at Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site and Old Homestead House Museum. Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Royal Gorge Dinosaur Experience (in Canon City), Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument (in Florissant) and Mueller State Park (in Divide). There's lots more to do: hike along Palmer Park, get your game on at Battlefield Colorado, identify plant and animal life at Bear Creek Nature Center, and stroll around North Cheyenne Canon Park.

In February, plan for daily highs up to 46°F, and evening lows to 21°F. Finish your sightseeing early on the 22nd (Sat) so you can travel back home.
