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.

Visit Glen Eyrie Castle and Old Homestead House Museum for their historical value. Escape the urban bustle at Palmer Park and Colorado Wolf Adventures. Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Cripple Creek (Bronco Billy's Casino, Mt Pisgah Cemetery, &more), Divide (Horsethief Falls & Mueller State Park) and Canon City (The Winery at Holy Cross Abbey & Royal Gorge Anglers). And it doesn't end there: engage your brain at Peterson Air & Space Museum, take in the dramatic natural features at Red Rock Canyon Open Space, take in the awesome beauty at Cheyenne Mountain State Park, and identify plant and animal life at Bear Creek Nature Center.
