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.

Kids will appreciate attractions like Garden of the Gods and Battlefield Colorado. Get out of town with these interesting Colorado Springs side-trips: Victor's Gold Camp Ag & Mining Museum (in Victor), Cañon City (River Rafting & Tubing & Skyline Drive) and Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine (in Cripple Creek). There's still lots to do: get to know the resident critters at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, learn about all things military at National Museum of World War II Aviation, find something for the whole family at Cave of the Winds Mountain Park, and take in the dramatic scenery at The Broadmoor Seven Falls.
