7 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.

Deepen your sense of the past at sights like Old Colorado City and Manitou Cliff Dwellings. Museum-lovers will appreciate National Museum of World War II Aviation and Penrose Heritage Museum. Explore Colorado Springs' surroundings by going to Cañon City (Museum of Colorado Prisons & Royal Gorge Bridge and Park), Victor's Gold Camp Ag & Mining Museum (in Victor) and Cripple Creek (Mt Pisgah Cemetery, Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine, &more). There's still lots to do: stroll around Garden of the Gods, get interesting insight from Tours, get in on the family fun at Cave of the Winds Mountain Park, and shake up your sightseeing with a climbing tour.
