5 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.

Get in touch with nature at River Rafting & Tubing and Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center. Let the collections at National Museum of World War II Aviation and Penrose Heritage Museum capture your imagination. Take a break from Colorado Springs with a short trip to Old Homestead House Museum in Cripple Creek, about 1h 5 min away. The adventure continues: stroll around Garden of the Gods, learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, take an in-depth tour of U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum, and shake up your sightseeing with a climbing tour.
