8 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.

Let the collections at National Museum of World War II Aviation and Lester L. Williams Fire Museum capture your imagination. Old Colorado City and Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site will appeal to history buffs. Explore Colorado Springs' surroundings by going to River Rafting & Tubing (in Cañon City), Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center (in Divide) and Outlaw and Lawmen Jail Museum (in Cripple Creek). There's still lots to do: walk around Garden of the Gods, awaken your taste buds at Rocky Mountain Food Tours, admire nature's wide array of creatures at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, and identify plant and animal life at Bear Creek Nature Center.
