6 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.

Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Cañon City (Royal Gorge Bridge and Park & River Rafting & Tubing) and Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine (in Cripple Creek). There's still lots to do: walk around Garden of the Gods, get to know the fascinating history of Old Colorado City, find something for the whole family at North Pole Colorado Santa’s Workshop, and take in the dramatic scenery at The Broadmoor Seven Falls.
