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.

Kids will enjoy Garden of the Gods and River Rafting & Tubing. You'll discover tucked-away gems like Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center and North Pole Colorado Santa’s Workshop. Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Canon City (The Abbey Events Complex & Tunnel Drive), Mueller State Park (in Divide) and Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument (in Florissant). And it doesn't end there: meet the residents at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, stroll through Seven Bridges Trail, see the sights as you ascend with a climbing tour, and look for all kinds of wild species at North Cheyenne Canon Park.

To see reviews, maps, where to stay, and more tourist information, refer to the Colorado Springs trip site.

Expect a daytime high around 86°F in July, and nighttime lows around 58°F. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 31st (Fri) to allow time to travel back home.
