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.

Visiting Helen Hunt Falls and Guanella Pass will get you outdoors. Argo Mill and Tunnel and Glen Eyrie Castle are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Denver Botanic Gardens (in Denver), Rosemount Museum (in Pueblo) and Dinosaur Ridge (in Morrison). There's lots more to do: look for all kinds of wild species at Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center, admire the masterpieces at Michael Garman Museum & Gallery, trek along Seven Bridges Trail, and stroll around North Cheyenne Canon Park.
