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.

Escape the urban bustle at Royal Gorge Zip Line Tours and Royal Gorge Helitours. Kids will appreciate attractions like National Museum of World War II Aviation and Glen Eyrie Castle. Get out of town with these interesting Colorado Springs side-trips: Red Rocks Group Campground (in Woodland Park), Royal Gorge Route Railroad (in Cañon City) and Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center (in Divide). There's lots more to do: get to know the resident critters at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, identify plant and animal life at Bear Creek Nature Center, tour the pleasant surroundings at Fountain Creek Nature Center, and appreciate the extensive heritage of Old Colorado City.
