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 Cañon City (Royal Gorge Bridge and Park, River Rafting & Tubing, &more), Vindicator Valley Trail (in Victor) and Cripple Creek (Old Homestead House Museum & Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine). There's much more to do: stroll around Garden of the Gods, expand your understanding of the military at United States Air Force Academy, 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.
