8 days in Colorado Springs Itinerary

Visiting Pikes Peak - America's Mountain and North Cheyenne Canon Park will get you outdoors. Old Colorado City Historic District and Manitou Cliff Dwellings will appeal to history buffs. Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center (in Divide) and Cañon City (Royal Gorge Bridge and Park & River Rafting & Tubing). There's still lots to do: brush up on your military savvy at National Museum of World War II Aviation, see the sights as you ascend with a climbing tour, surround yourself with nature on Colorado Wolf Adventures, and stroll around Garden of the Gods.
