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 in touch with nature at Mueller State Park and Seven Bridges Trail. Kids will enjoy Garden of the Gods and Palmer Park.

And it doesn't end there: push the limits with Rusty Wallace Racing Experience, don't miss a visit to Ivywild School, see the interesting displays at Penrose Heritage Museum, and get outside with Adventures Out West.
