7 days in Colorado Springs Itinerary

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center and U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum. Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center 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: look for all kinds of wild species at North Cheyenne Canon Park, contemplate the long history of Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site, sample some tasty brews at Rocky Mountain Food Tours, and stroll through Seven Bridges Trail.
