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.

Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Cañon City (Royal Gorge Bridge and Park, River Rafting & Tubing, &more), Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine (in Cripple Creek) and Mueller State Park (in Divide). The adventure continues: walk around Garden of the Gods, admire the sheer force of The Broadmoor Seven Falls, deepen your knowledge of military history at United States Air Force Academy, and learn about all things military at National Museum of World War II Aviation.
