9 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.

Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Cañon City (Royal Gorge Bridge and Park, River Rafting & Tubing, &more), Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument (in Florissant) and Divide (Mueller State Park & Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center). There's much more to do: walk around Garden of the Gods, cruise along Pikes Peak - America's Mountain, get to know the resident critters at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, and get in on the family fun at Cave of the Winds Mountain Park.
