4 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 Mueller State Park and Memorial Park. Get a sense of the local culture at U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum and Western Museum of Mining and Industry. Get out of town with these interesting Colorado Springs side-trips: Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center (in Divide), Cripple Creek (Outlaw and Lawmen Jail Museum & Phantom Canyon Road) and Victor's Gold Camp Ag & Mining Museum (in Victor). There's still lots to do: get a dose of the wild on Colorado Wolf Adventures, steep yourself in history at Peterson Air & Space Museum, examine the collection at Michael Garman Museum & Gallery, and explore the world behind art at Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College.
