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.

Let the collections at U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum and ProRodeo Hall of Fame capture your imagination. You'll discover tucked-away gems like Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument and Palmer Park. Get out of town with these interesting Colorado Springs side-trips: Cripple Creek (Outlaw and Lawmen Jail Museum & Old Homestead House Museum), Divide (Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center & Mueller State Park) and Cañon City (Tunnel Drive, The Winery at Holy Cross Abbey, &more). And it doesn't end there: see the interesting displays at ANA Money Museum, explore the world behind art at Michael Garman Museum & Gallery, contemplate the long history of Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site, and learn about all things military at Peterson Air & Space Museum.
