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 out of town with these interesting Colorado Springs side-trips: Cañon City (River Rafting & Tubing & Royal Gorge Bridge and Park), Red Rocks Group Campground (in Woodland Park) and Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center (in Divide). There's still lots to do: walk around Garden of the Gods, look for all kinds of wild species at Fountain Creek Regional Park, deepen your knowledge of military history at United States Air Force Academy, and take a stroll through Old Colorado City.
