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 outdoors at Palmer Park and Seven Bridges Trail. You'll discover tucked-away gems like Colorado Wolf Adventures and Cheyenne Mountain State Park. Get out of town with these interesting Colorado Springs side-trips: Canon City (Royal Gorge Regional Museum and History Center, Tunnel Drive, &more), Mueller State Park (in Divide) and Shelf Rd (in Cripple Creek). There's much more to do: walk around Garden of the Gods, contemplate the long history of Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site, get curious at Peterson Air & Space Museum, and identify plant and animal life at Bear Creek Nature Center.
