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.

Discover out-of-the-way places like Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College and Penrose Heritage Museum. Kids will enjoy North Cheyenne Canon Park and National Museum of World War II Aviation. Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Florissant (Florissant Fossil Quarry & Pikes Peak Historical Society Museum), Cañon City (Tunnel Drive & Museum of Colorado Prisons) and Divide (Mueller State Park & Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center). And it doesn't end there: see the interesting displays at Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center, trek along Palmer Park, brush up on your military savvy at Peterson Air & Space Museum, and identify plant and animal life at Colorado Wolf Adventures.
