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.

Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Helen Hunt Falls and Penrose Heritage Museum. Museum-lovers will appreciate Pueblo Weisbrod Aircraft Museum and Hotel de Paris Museum. Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Pueblo (Rosemount Museum & Historic Arkansas Riverwalk of Pueblo), Divide (Mueller State Park & Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center) and Denver (Clyfford Still Museum, Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art, &more). There's still lots to do: explore the historical opulence of Glen Eyrie Castle, see the interesting displays at Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center, explore the world behind art at Michael Garman Museum & Gallery, and see the sights as you ascend with a climbing tour.
