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.

Family-friendly places like River Rafting & Tubing and National Museum of World War II Aviation will thrill your kids. Museum-lovers will appreciate Penrose Heritage Museum and Manitou Cliff Dwellings. Get out of town with these interesting Colorado Springs side-trips: Skyline Drive (in Cañon City), Victor's Gold Camp Ag & Mining Museum (in Victor) and Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center (in Divide). And it doesn't end there: surround yourself with nature on Colorado Wolf Adventures, learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, look for all kinds of wild species at Bear Creek Nature Center, and take in the dramatic natural features at Red Rock Canyon Open Space.
