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.

Visiting Palmer Park and Seven Bridges Trail will get you outdoors. You'll discover tucked-away gems like Colorado Wolf Adventures and Cheyenne Mountain State Park. Explore Colorado Springs' surroundings by going to Cañon City (River Rafting & Tubing & Tunnel Drive), Shelf Rd (in Cripple Creek) and Mueller State Park (in Divide). And it doesn't end there: examine the collection at Penrose Heritage Museum, head outdoors with Outdoor Activities, stroll through Bear Creek Nature Center, and walk around Garden of the Gods.
