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.

Get in touch with nature at Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center and North Cheyenne Canon Park. National Museum of World War II Aviation and Penrose Heritage Museum will appeal to museum buffs. Venture out of the city with trips to Canon City (Skyline Drive & The Abbey Events Complex). There's still lots to do: walk around Garden of the Gods, explore the historical opulence of Glen Eyrie Castle, admire the sheer force of The Broadmoor Seven Falls, and find something for the whole family at Cave of the Winds Mountain Park.
