8 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 out of town with these interesting Colorado Springs side-trips: Cañon City (Royal Gorge Bridge and Park, River Rafting & Tubing, &more) and Cripple Creek (Outlaw and Lawmen Jail Museum, Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine, &more). There's much more to do: walk around Garden of the Gods, expand your understanding of the military at United States Air Force Academy, awaken your taste buds at Rocky Mountain Food Tours, and get outside with Outdoor Activities.

To find photos, reviews, and more tourist information, you can read our Colorado Springs tour planning site.

In September in Colorado Springs, expect temperatures between 79°F during the day and 51°F at night.
