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 River Rafting & Tubing and Skyline Drive. Go for a jaunt from Colorado Springs to Divide to see Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center about 42 minutes away. There's much more to do: learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, find something for the whole family at North Pole Colorado Santa’s Workshop, take in the dramatic natural features at Red Rock Canyon Open Space, and explore the activities along Manitou Springs Incline.
