7 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.

Step off the beaten path and head to Glen Eyrie Castle and Wine Tours & Tastings. Get in touch with nature at Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center and Balloon Rides. Venture out of the city with trips to Historic Olde Town Arvada (in Arvada), Colorado Railroad Museum (in Golden) and Pueblo (Pueblo Weisbrod Aircraft Museum, Rosemount Museum, &more). There's lots more to do: see the interesting displays at Penrose Heritage Museum, tour the pleasant surroundings at Palmer Park, get engrossed in the history at Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum, and admire the sheer force of Helen Hunt Falls.
