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), Cripple Creek (Phantom Canyon Road, Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine, &more) and Mueller State Park (in Divide). And it doesn't end there: walk around Garden of the Gods, shake up your sightseeing with a climbing tour, get in on the family fun at Cave of the Winds Mountain Park, and deepen your knowledge of military history at United States Air Force Academy.
