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.

Visit Old Colorado City and Manitou Cliff Dwellings for their historical value. Your cultural itinerary includes sights like National Museum of World War II Aviation and U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum. Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Cañon City (Royal Gorge Bridge and Park & River Rafting & Tubing) and Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center (in Divide). There's much more to do: walk around Garden of the Gods, examine the collection at Penrose Heritage Museum, get a dose of the wild on Colorado Wolf Adventures, and take in the dramatic natural features at Red Rock Canyon Open Space.
