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.

Get out of town with these interesting Colorado Springs side-trips: Skyline Drive (in Canon City), Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine (in Cripple Creek) and Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center (in Divide). There's much more to do: walk around Garden of the Gods, learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, take in the dramatic natural features at Red Rock Canyon Open Space, and go for a walk through Pike's Peak - America's Mountain.
