6 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.

Bring the kids along to Helen Hunt Falls and Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center and North Cheyenne Canon Park. Explore Colorado Springs' surroundings by going to Denver Botanic Gardens (in Denver), Dinosaur Ridge (in Morrison) and Argo Mill and Tunnel (in Idaho Springs). There's lots more to do: trek along Seven Bridges Trail, see the interesting displays at Miramont Castle Museum, contemplate the long history of Rosemount Museum, and tour or see a show at Glen Eyrie Castle.
