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.

Venture out of the city with trips to Victor's Gold Camp Ag & Mining Museum (in Victor), Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine (in Cripple Creek) and Skyline Drive (in Canon City). And it doesn't end there: stroll around Garden of the Gods, expand your understanding of the military at United States Air Force Academy, explore the striking landscape at Red Rock Canyon Open Space, and see the interesting displays at Penrose Heritage Museum.
