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.

Take a break from the city and head to Manitou Springs Incline and Palmer Park. Visit Bishop Castle and Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site for their historical value. Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Divide (Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center & Mueller State Park), South Park City Museum (in Fairplay) and Tunnel Drive (in Cañon City). And it doesn't end there: admire the sheer force of Helen Hunt Falls, look for gifts at Focus on the Family Bookstore, admire the majestic nature at Cherry Creek State Park, and take a memorable drive along Guanella Pass.

Expect a daytime high around 84°F in June, and nighttime lows around 54°F. Finish your sightseeing early on the 25th (Sat) so you can travel back home.
