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.

Discover out-of-the-way places like Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center and Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument. Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Mueller State Park (in Divide), Cripple Creek (Phantom Canyon Road, Old Homestead House Museum, &more) and Florissant Fossil Quarry (in Florissant). There's much more to do: trek along Tunnel Drive, examine the collection at Penrose Heritage Museum, get a dose of the wild on Colorado Wolf Adventures, and get engrossed in the history at Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum.
