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 Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine (in Cripple Creek) and Cañon City (Royal Gorge Bridge and Park, River Rafting & Tubing, &more). There's still lots to do: walk around Garden of the Gods, get to know the resident critters at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, get to know the fascinating history of Old Colorado City, and deepen your knowledge of military history at United States Air Force Academy.
