11 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.

Attractions like Cheyenne Mountain Zoo and Royal Gorge Helitours make great kid-friendly stops. Venture out of the city with trips to Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center (in Divide) and Canon City (Royal Gorge Route Railroad, Royal Gorge Zip Line Tours, &more). Pack the 20th (Sun) with family-friendly diversions at Cave of the Winds Mountain Park. There's much more to do: learn about all things military at National Museum of World War II Aviation, examine the collection at Penrose Heritage Museum, explore the striking landscape at Red Rock Canyon Open Space, and get interesting insight from Tours.
