9 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.

Venture out of the city with trips to Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine (in Cripple Creek) and Canon City (Royal Gorge Helitours, Royal Gorge Route Railroad, &more). Pack the 25th (Sun) with family-friendly diversions at Cave of the Winds Mountain Park. There's much more to do: stroll around Garden of the Gods, admire the sheer force of Helen Hunt Falls, tour the pleasant surroundings at Manitou Springs Incline, and get to know the fascinating history of Old Colorado City.
