Planning Colorado Springs holidays

Colorado Springs is in the Mountain Standard Time (GMT - 7) zone and enjoys a semi-arid climate. Plan Colorado Springs holidays from April to August, when the city and mountains come alive with wildflowers and the weather is perfect for exploring. Arrive via Colorado Springs Municipal Airport or Denver International Airport. The city is serviced by major highways and the Mountain Metro public transport system, however the best way to get around is by foot.

Discover Colorado Springs

With its striking natural beauty and endless activities, Colorado Springs holidays offer a refreshing and invigorating experience. A must-see is the Garden of the Gods, a series of dramatic sandstone formations enclosed by parklands and excellent for hiking or rock climbing. See the inspiration for the song “America, the Beautiful” and visit the famous Pikes Peak, which looms majestically over the city - the cornerstone for all Colorado Springs holidays. For a spectacular view, take the Cog Rail, drive, or even hike or jog up to the summit. Enjoy some waterside scenery by visiting Seven or Helen Hunt Falls, or explore the Cave of the Winds near Manitou. The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo and the May Natural History Museum are favourites with families. Drive south of town to reach the Arkansas River for a day of whitewater rafting, fishing, and exploring the Royal Gorge.
