13 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 some historical perspective at Glen Eyrie Castle and McAllister House. Step off the beaten path and head to Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum and Michael Garman Museum & Gallery. Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Cripple Creek (Mt Pisgah Cemetery & Cripple Creek), Great Outdoors Adventures (in Woodland Park) and Canon City (Tunnel Drive, Royal Gorge Zip Line Tours, &more). And it doesn't end there: examine the collection at Penrose Heritage Museum, listen to music at Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College, stroll through Seven Bridges Trail, and take your sightseeing to a higher altitude at Cheyenne Mountain State Park.
