9 days in Colorado Springs Itinerary

Visiting Pikes Peak - America's Mountain and Manitou Springs Incline will get you outdoors. You'll explore and learn at Children's Museum of Denver and Penrose Heritage Museum. Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Littleton Museum (in Littleton), Pueblo (Rosemount Museum & Historic Arkansas Riverwalk of Pueblo) and Divide (Mueller State Park & Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center). There's much more to do: find something for the whole family at North Pole Colorado Santa’s Workshop, examine the collection at Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center, contemplate the long history of Western Museum of Mining and Industry, and trek along Seven Bridges Trail.
