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.

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center and North Cheyenne Canon Park. U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum and Cripple Creek District Museum will appeal to museum buffs. Venture out of the city with trips to Mueller State Park (in Divide), Cripple Creek (Old Homestead House Museum, Outlaw and Lawmen Jail Museum, &more) and Cañon City (River Rafting & Tubing & Tunnel Drive). Next up on the itinerary: get the lay of the land with Rocky Mountain Food Tours, trek along Seven Bridges Trail, enjoy the sand and surf at Memorial Park, and cruise along Pikes Peak - America's Mountain.
