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.

You'll discover tucked-away gems like Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center and Seven Bridges Trail. Visiting Tunnel Drive and Adventures Out West will get you outdoors. Venture out of the city with trips to Mueller State Park (in Divide), Victor (Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company, Victor Lowell Thomas Museum, &more) and Cripple Creek (Outlaw and Lawmen Jail Museum, Phantom Canyon Road, &more). And it doesn't end there: take in the awesome beauty at Cheyenne Mountain State Park, make a trip to Starr Kempf's Metal Sculptures, have some family-friendly fun at Battlefield Colorado, and walk around Fox Run Regional Park.
