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.

Kids will enjoy Garden of the Gods and National Museum of World War II Aviation. Venture out of the city with trips to Skyline Drive (in Canon City), Victor's Gold Camp Ag & Mining Museum (in Victor) and Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine (in Cripple Creek). And it doesn't end there: learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, take in the dramatic scenery at Helen Hunt Falls, stroll around Red Rock Canyon Open Space, and see the interesting displays at Penrose Heritage Museum.

To find reviews, traveler tips, other places to visit, and tourist information, refer to the Colorado Springs online day trip planner.

Expect a daytime high around 84°F in June, and nighttime lows around 54°F. Finish your sightseeing early on the 5th (Sun) to allow enough time to travel back home.
