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.

Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Victor's Gold Camp Ag & Mining Museum (in Victor) and Cañon City (River Rafting & Tubing & Skyline Drive). Pack the 28th (Mon) with family-friendly diversions at Cave of the Winds Mountain Park. There's still lots to do: get to know the resident critters at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, walk around Garden of the Gods, hike along Manitou Springs Incline, and trot along with a tour on horseback.

In June, plan for daily highs up to 84°F, and evening lows to 54°F.
