12 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.

Take a break from the city and head to Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center and Seven Bridges Trail. Get some cultural insight at U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum and Penrose Heritage Museum. Venture out of the city with trips to Divide (Mueller State Park & Horsethief Falls), Cripple Creek (Cripple Creek District Museum, Mt Pisgah Cemetery, &more) and Victor (Victor's Gold Camp Ag & Mining Museum, Victor Lowell Thomas Museum, &more). And it doesn't end there: take in a show at Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College, stroll through Palmer Park, surround yourself with nature on Colorado Wolf Adventures, and get a taste of the local shopping with Western Museum of Mining and Industry.
