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 River Rafting & Tubing. National Museum of World War II Aviation and U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center (in Divide), Cañon City (Royal Gorge Bridge and Park & Skyline Drive) and Red Rocks Group Campground (in Woodland Park). Next up on the itinerary: get to know the resident critters at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, get to know the fascinating history of Old Colorado City Historic District, get in on the family fun at Cave of the Winds Mountain Park, and examine the collection at Penrose Heritage Museum.
