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.

Your day by day itinerary now includes Space Foundation Discovery Center, Manitou Springs Memorial Park, Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company, and other attractions you added. Old Colorado City and Royal Gorge Regional Museum and History Center are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Get in touch with nature at Red Rock Canyon Open Space and Helen Hunt Falls. Get out of town with these interesting Colorado Springs side-trips: Cañon City (Royal Gorge Route Railroad & Skyline Drive), Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine (in Cripple Creek) and Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center (in Divide). There's still lots to do: stroll around Garden of the Gods, delve into the distant past at Manitou Cliff Dwellings, deepen your knowledge of military history at United States Air Force Academy, and examine the collection at Penrose Heritage Museum.
