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.

Kids will enjoy Garden of the Gods and River Rafting & Tubing. Get out of town with these interesting Colorado Springs side-trips: Cañon City (Royal Gorge Bridge and Park & Skyline Drive) and Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine (in Cripple Creek). There's lots more to do: learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, take in the dramatic scenery at The Broadmoor Seven Falls, get in on the family fun at Cave of the Winds Mountain Park, and expand your understanding of the military at United States Air Force Academy.
