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.

Glen Eyrie Castle and Old Colorado City will appeal to history buffs. Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Colorado Wolf Adventures and United States Olympic & Paralympic Museum. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Colorado Springs: Victor's Gold Camp Ag & Mining Museum (in Victor), Cripple Creek (Outlaw and Lawmen Jail Museum & Old Homestead House Museum) and Mueller State Park (in Divide). There's much more to do: examine the collection at Western Museum of Mining and Industry, engage your brain at Peterson Air & Space Museum, admire the masterpieces at Michael Garman Museum & Gallery, and take in a show at Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College.
