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.

U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum and Michael Garman Museum & Gallery will appeal to museum buffs. Popular historic sites such as Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site and Peterson Air & Space Museum are in your itinerary. Venture out of the city with trips to Cripple Creek District Museum (in Cripple Creek) and Mueller State Park (in Divide). There's still lots to do: tour the pleasant surroundings at Seven Bridges Trail, surround yourself with nature on Colorado Wolf Adventures, get outside with Adventures Out West, and see the interesting displays at Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center.
