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: Victor's Gold Camp Ag & Mining Museum (in Victor), Skyline Drive (in Canon City) and Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine (in Cripple Creek). There's lots more to do: walk around Garden of the Gods, get in on the family fun at Cave of the Winds Mountain Park, appreciate the extensive heritage of Old Colorado City, and take in the dramatic natural features at Red Rock Canyon Open Space.
