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.

Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center (in Divide), Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine (in Cripple Creek) and Victor's Gold Camp Ag & Mining Museum (in Victor). Pack the 18th (Sun) with family-friendly diversions at Cave of the Winds Mountain Park. There's lots more to do: walk around Garden of the Gods, explore the activities along Manitou Springs Incline, brush up on your military savvy at National Museum of World War II Aviation, and learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.
