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.

Step out of the city life by going to Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center and Mueller State Park. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument and Rocky Mountain Food Tours. Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Florissant Fossil Quarry (in Florissant), Cañon City (The Winery at Holy Cross Abbey & Tunnel Drive) and Cripple Creek (Old Homestead House Museum, Phantom Canyon Road, &more). There's lots more to do: take your sightseeing to a higher altitude at Cheyenne Mountain State Park, appreciate the history behind Will Rogers Memorial Shrine of the Sun, stroll through Seven Bridges Trail, and trek along Palmer Park.
