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.

Visiting Pikes Peak - America's Mountain and River Rafting & Tubing will get you outdoors. Explore Colorado Springs' surroundings by going to Cañon City (Skyline Drive & Royal Gorge Bridge and Park), Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument (in Florissant) and Divide (Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center, Mueller State Park, &more). There's still lots to do: shake up your sightseeing with a climbing tour, explore the striking landscape at Red Rock Canyon Open Space, walk around Garden of the Gods, and learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.
