10 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.

Popular historic sites such as Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site and Peterson Air & Space Museum are in your itinerary. Museum-lovers will appreciate Penrose Heritage Museum and Outlaw and Lawmen Jail Museum. Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Cripple Creek (Cripple Creek District Museum, Phantom Canyon Road, &more), Canon City (The Winery at Holy Cross Abbey & Tunnel Drive) and Mueller State Park (in Divide). There's lots more to do: enjoy the sand and surf at Memorial Park, get engrossed in the history at Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum, get the adrenaline pumping with Rusty Wallace Racing Experience, and tour the pleasant surroundings at Palmer Park.
