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.

Venture out of the city with trips to Tunnel Drive (in Cañon City), Divide (Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center & Mueller State Park) and Cripple Creek (Phantom Canyon Road, Old Homestead House Museum, &more). The adventure continues: take a memorable tour with Adventures Out West Pikes Peak Ziplines, stroll around Garden of the Gods, take in the awesome beauty at Cheyenne Mountain State Park, and contemplate the long history of Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site.
