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.

Step out of the city life by going to Climbing Tours and Red Rock Canyon Open Space. Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Cañon City (Royal Gorge Bridge and Park & Skyline Drive), Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine (in Cripple Creek) and Divide (Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center, Horsethief Falls, &more). The adventure continues: walk around Garden of the Gods, learn the secrets of beer at Rocky Mountain Food Tours, expand your understanding of the military at United States Air Force Academy, and explore and take pictures at Pikes Peak - America's Mountain.
