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 Rocky Mountain Food Tours and North Cheyenne Canon Park. Get out of town with these interesting Colorado Springs side-trips: Victor's Gold Camp Ag & Mining Museum (in Victor), Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center (in Divide) and Cañon City (River Rafting & Tubing & Tunnel Drive). The adventure continues: stroll around Garden of the Gods, pause for some photo ops at Will Rogers Memorial Shrine of the Sun, see the interesting displays at Penrose Heritage Museum, and tour the pleasant surroundings at Seven Bridges Trail.

To see other places to visit, reviews, photos, and more tourist information, refer to the Colorado Springs online day trip planner.
