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.

You'll visit kid-friendly attractions like Garden of the Gods and River Rafting & Tubing. Venture out of the city with trips to Cañon City (Royal Gorge Bridge and Park & Skyline Drive) and Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine (in Cripple Creek). There's lots more to do: admire nature's wide array of creatures at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, take a pleasant ride with a tour on horseback, get in on the family fun at North Pole Colorado Santa’s Workshop, and deepen your knowledge of military history at United States Air Force Academy.
