7 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.

Step out of the city life by going to Butterfly Pavilion and Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center. Get some historical perspective at The International Church of Cannabis and Glen Eyrie Castle. Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Denver (Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Great Divide Brewing Co., &more), Flagstaff Mountain (in Boulder) and Historic Olde Town Arvada (in Arvada). There's still lots to do: trek along Palmer Park, learn the secrets of beer at Rocky Mountain Food Tours, take an in-depth tour of Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum, and surround yourself with nature on Colorado Wolf Adventures.
