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.

Take a break from the city and head to Palmer Park and Cheyenne Mountain State Park. Attractions like ProRodeo Hall of Fame and Garden of the Gods make great kid-friendly stops. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Colorado Springs: Mueller State Park (in Divide) and Tunnel Drive (in Cañon City). The adventure continues: see the interesting displays at Penrose Heritage Museum, stroll through Seven Bridges Trail, get engrossed in the history at U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum, and find something for the whole family at North Pole Colorado Santa’s Workshop.
