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.

Visiting Pikes Peak - America's Mountain and Historic Arkansas Riverwalk of Pueblo will get you outdoors. You'll explore and learn at Children's Museum of Denver and Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum. Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Littleton Museum (in Littleton), Rosemount Museum (in Pueblo) and Divide (Mueller State Park & Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center). There's lots more to do: contemplate the waterfront views at Manitou Springs Incline, trek along Palmer Park, see the interesting displays at Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center, and walk around North Cheyenne Canon Park.
