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.

Get outdoors at River Rafting & Tubing and Climbing Tours. Museum-lovers will appreciate National Museum of World War II Aviation and U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum. Get out of town with these interesting Colorado Springs side-trips: Victor's Gold Camp Ag & Mining Museum (in Victor), Red Rocks Group Campground (in Woodland Park) and Old Homestead House Museum (in Cripple Creek). There's still lots to do: wander the streets of Old Colorado City, surround yourself with nature on Colorado Wolf Adventures, stroll around Garden of the Gods, and sample some tasty brews at Rocky Mountain Food Tours.
