9 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.

You'll discover tucked-away gems like Glen Eyrie Castle and North Cheyenne Canon Park. Get some cultural insight at U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum and Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum. Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Cañon City (Museum of Colorado Prisons & Tunnel Drive), Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument (in Florissant) and Cripple Creek (Outlaw and Lawmen Jail Museum, Cripple Creek District Museum, &more). And it doesn't end there: learn the secrets of beer at Rocky Mountain Food Tours, immerse yourself in nature at Mueller State Park, examine the collection at Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center, and get engrossed in the history at ANA Money Museum.
