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.

Family-friendly places like Penrose Heritage Museum and Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum will thrill your kids. Western Museum of Mining and Industry and Old Colorado City will appeal to history buffs. Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Kings Deer Golf Club (in Monument), Divide (Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center & Mueller State Park) and Shining Mountain Golf Course (in Woodland Park). There's lots more to do: tour the pleasant surroundings at Palmer Park, get a dose of the wild on Colorado Wolf Adventures, walk around North Cheyenne Canon Park, and examine the collection at U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum.
