8 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.

Venture out of the city with trips to Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center (in Divide), Skyline Drive (in Canon City) and Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine (in Cripple Creek). There's still lots to do: walk around Garden of the Gods, get to know the resident critters at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, deepen your understanding at United States Air Force Academy, and contemplate the waterfront views at Manitou Springs Incline.
