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.

Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Cañon City (Royal Gorge Bridge and Park, River Rafting & Tubing, &more).
