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.

Old Colorado City and Manitou Cliff Dwellings will appeal to history buffs. You'll explore and learn at National Museum of World War II Aviation and Victor's Gold Camp Ag & Mining Museum. Venture out of the city with trips to Cañon City (River Rafting & Tubing & Skyline Drive). Pack the 25th (Wed) with family-friendly diversions at Cave of the Winds Mountain Park. There's much more to do: cruise along Pikes Peak - America's Mountain, take a memorable tour with Tours, learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, and find something for the whole family at North Pole Colorado Santa’s Workshop.
