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 Peterson Air & Space Museum. Take a break from the city and head to Royal Gorge Helitours and Colorado Wolf Adventures. Get out of town with these interesting Colorado Springs side-trips: Mueller State Park (in Divide), Canon City (Tunnel Drive & The Winery at Holy Cross Abbey) and Cripple Creek (Mt Pisgah Cemetery, Bronco Billy's Casino, &more). And it doesn't end there: see the interesting displays at Penrose Heritage Museum, enjoy some music at Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College, contemplate the long history of Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site, and take in the awesome beauty at Cheyenne Mountain State Park.
