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.

Discover out-of-the-way places like Mueller State Park and Cheyenne Mountain State Park. Visiting Colorado Wolf Adventures and Phantom Canyon Road will get you outdoors. Get out of town with these interesting Colorado Springs side-trips: Cripple Creek (Old Homestead House Museum & Outlaw and Lawmen Jail Museum) and Victor's Gold Camp Ag & Mining Museum (in Victor). There's still lots to do: examine the collection at Western Museum of Mining and Industry, steep yourself in history at Peterson Air & Space Museum, look for gifts at Garden of the Gods Trading Post, and get engrossed in the history at Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum.
