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 Bear Creek Nature Center will get you outdoors. Get out of town with these interesting Colorado Springs side-trips: Cripple Creek (Old Homestead House Museum, Phantom Canyon Road, &more) and Victor's Gold Camp Ag & Mining Museum (in Victor). There's still lots to do: get engrossed in the history at United States Olympic & Paralympic Museum, steep yourself in history at Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site, find something for the whole family at North Pole Colorado Santa’s Workshop, and get to know the fascinating history of Old Colorado City.
