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.

Appreciate the collections at Penrose Heritage Museum and ANA Money Museum. Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site and Peterson Air & Space Museum will appeal to history buffs. Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Outlaw and Lawmen Jail Museum (in Cripple Creek), Victor's Gold Camp Ag & Mining Museum (in Victor) and Mueller State Park (in Divide). There's lots more to do: surround yourself with nature on Colorado Wolf Adventures, stop by Garden of the Gods Trading Post, examine the collection at Western Museum of Mining and Industry, and hike along Palmer Park.
