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.

Attractions like Garden of the Gods and Cheyenne Mountain Zoo make great kid-friendly stops. Get in touch with nature at Pikes Peak - America's Mountain and Seven Bridges Trail. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Colorado Springs: Phantom Canyon Road (in Cripple Creek) and Mueller State Park (in Divide). There's still lots to do: contemplate the long history of Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site, take an in-depth tour of ANA Money Museum, surround yourself with nature on Colorado Wolf Adventures, and see the interesting displays at U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum.
