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.

Deepen your sense of the past at sights like Peterson Air & Space Museum and Western Museum of Mining and Industry. Get outdoors at Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center and Phantom Canyon Road. Get out of town with these interesting Colorado Springs side-trips: Mueller State Park (in Divide), Outlaw and Lawmen Jail Museum (in Cripple Creek) and Victor's Gold Camp Ag & Mining Museum (in Victor). There's much more to do: take an in-depth tour of U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum, tour the pleasant surroundings at Memorial Park, explore the world behind art at Michael Garman Museum & Gallery, and get a new perspective on nature at Expanding Minds Unlimited - The Colorado Springs Children's Museum.
