8 days in Colorado Springs Itinerary

Get outdoors at Pikes Peak - America's Mountain and North Cheyenne Canon Park. National Museum of World War II Aviation and Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Divide (Horsethief Falls & Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center), Red Rocks Group Campground (in Woodland Park) and Cañon City (Skyline Drive, Royal Gorge Bridge and Park, &more). And it doesn't end there: shake up your sightseeing with a climbing tour, admire nature's wide array of creatures at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, deepen your knowledge of military history at United States Air Force Academy, and stroll around Garden of the Gods.
