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 Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center will get you outdoors. Glen Eyrie Castle and Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Argo Mill and Tunnel (in Idaho Springs), Dinosaur Ridge (in Morrison) and Denver Botanic Gardens (in Denver). And it doesn't end there: hike along Seven Bridges Trail, explore the world behind art at Michael Garman Museum & Gallery, steep yourself in history at Rosemount Museum, and identify plant and animal life at North Cheyenne Canon Park.
