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.

Get some historical perspective at Glen Eyrie Castle and Mt Pisgah Cemetery. Take a break from the city and head to Royal Gorge Helitours and Palmer Park. Get out of town with these interesting Colorado Springs side-trips: Cripple Creek (Bronco Billy's Casino, Cripple Creek, &more), Canon City (Tunnel Drive & The Winery at Holy Cross Abbey) and Mueller State Park (in Divide). There's still lots to do: get engrossed in the history at Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum, listen to music at Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College, examine the collection at Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center, and contemplate the long history of Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site.
