7 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: Victor's Gold Camp Ag & Mining Museum (in Victor) and Canon City (River Rafting & Tubing & Skyline Drive). Pack the 6th (Tue) with family-friendly diversions at Cave of the Winds Mountain Park. There's still lots to do: walk around Garden of the Gods, gain insight at United States Air Force Academy, take in the dramatic natural features at Red Rock Canyon Open Space, and admire nature's wide array of creatures at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.
