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.

Bring the kids along to Garden of the Gods and Off-Road Tours. Venture out of the city with trips to Denver (Denver Zoo, Denver Museum of Nature & Science, &more), River Rafting & Tubing (in Idaho Springs) and Hidee Gold Mine (in Central City). There's much more to do: admire nature's wide array of creatures at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, take in the dramatic scenery at The Broadmoor Seven Falls, deepen your knowledge of military history at United States Air Force Academy, and walk around Red Rock Canyon Open Space.

For photos, ratings, other places to visit, and other tourist information, refer to the Colorado Springs trip planner.

In July, plan for daily highs up to 86°F, and evening lows to 58°F. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 31st (Fri) early enough to travel back home.
