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.

Step off the beaten path and head to Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site and Fox Run Regional Park. Venture out of the city with trips to Mueller State Park (in Divide), Tunnel Drive (in Cañon City) and Cripple Creek (Cripple Creek District Museum & Outlaw and Lawmen Jail Museum). There's much more to do: walk around North Cheyenne Canon Park, trek along Palmer Park, tour the pleasant surroundings at Seven Bridges Trail, and examine the collection at Penrose Heritage Museum.
