5 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.

Escape the urban bustle at Royal Gorge Helitours and Colorado Wolf Adventures. Popular historic sites such as Peterson Air & Space Museum and Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site are in your itinerary. Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Cañon City (The Winery at Holy Cross Abbey & Royal Gorge Zip Line Tours). There's lots more to do: examine the collection at Penrose Heritage Museum, get engrossed in the history at Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum, brush up on your military savvy at National Museum of World War II Aviation, and visit Old Colorado City.
