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 some historical perspective at Old Colorado City and Glen Eyrie Castle. Attractions like Garden of the Gods and North Cheyenne Canon Park make great kid-friendly stops. Get out of town with these interesting Colorado Springs side-trips: Divide (Mueller State Park, Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center, &more) and Canon City (The Abbey Events Complex, River Rafting & Tubing, &more). There's lots more to do: learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, find something for the whole family at Cave of the Winds Mountain Park, expand your understanding of the military at United States Air Force Academy, and contemplate the long history of Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site.
