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.

Bring the kids along to Garden of the Gods and Battlefield Colorado. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Colorado Springs: Skyline Drive (in Cañon City), Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine (in Cripple Creek) and Victor's Gold Camp Ag & Mining Museum (in Victor). There's much more to do: admire nature's wide array of creatures at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, find something for the whole family at Cave of the Winds Mountain Park, admire the sheer force of The Broadmoor Seven Falls, and shake up your sightseeing with a climbing tour.
