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.

Do your shopping at Manitou Cliff Dwellings and Ruxton's Trading Post. Get some cultural insight at Rocky Mountain Food Tours and Old Colorado City Historic District. Venture out of the city with trips to Pikes Peak Historical Society Museum (in Florissant), Red Rocks Group Campground (in Woodland Park) and Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center (in Divide). The adventure continues: walk around Garden of the Gods, get a dose of the wild on Colorado Wolf Adventures, identify plant and animal life at Bear Creek Nature Center, and learn about all things military at National Museum of World War II Aviation.
