8 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 Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center and Colorado Wolf Adventures will get you outdoors. Discover out-of-the-way places like Palmer Park and Cheyenne Mountain State Park. Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Divide (Horsethief Falls & Mueller State Park), Cañon City (The Winery at Holy Cross Abbey & Garden Park Fossil Area) and Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument (in Florissant). The adventure continues: awaken your taste buds at Rocky Mountain Food Tours, walk around Fox Run Regional Park, hike along Seven Bridges Trail, and pause for some photo ops at Will Rogers Memorial Shrine of the Sun.
