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.

Museum-lovers will get to explore Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center and Cripple Creek District Museum. Get a sense of the local culture at Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site and Western Museum of Mining and Industry.

There's still lots to do: head outdoors with Adventures Out West, examine the collection at Penrose Heritage Museum, see the sights as you ascend with a climbing tour, and get engrossed in the history at ANA Money Museum.
