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.

Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Mueller State Park and Tunnel Drive. Escape the urban bustle at River Rafting & Tubing and Colorado Wolf Adventures. Get out of town with these interesting Colorado Springs side-trips: Horsethief Falls (in Divide), Cripple Creek (Cripple Creek District Museum & Outlaw and Lawmen Jail Museum) and Victor's Gold Camp Ag & Mining Museum (in Victor). There's much more to do: take in the awesome beauty at Cheyenne Mountain State Park, see the interesting displays at Penrose Heritage Museum, admire the masterpieces at Michael Garman Museum & Gallery, and take an in-depth tour of United States Olympic & Paralympic Museum.
