Hey guys, posted a while back on going to Red River with my wife and 11 and 8 year old.
I noticed its the same distance to Colorado Springs so im intrigued on if there is enough to do to fill 3-4 days?
we did 1 day there two years ago and only did Garden of the Gods and lunch.
Heres what im thinking
Air Force- Would kids like it?
Pikes peak- train isnt open?
Royal Gorge Train
Garden of Gods- already done it

Good rafting around there

It wouldnt be my first choice, especially with the Pikes Peak stuff being closed. You might be able to drive to the top of Pikes, but not sure given that they closed down the Evans Highwy for the year. Yall might prefer Golden, then you can see Red Rocks amd drive to some of the ski resort towns. You could also go to RMNP, although you’ll need a reservation right now. Golden also has significantly more character than the Springs, imo

Do an all day rafting trip. TRUST ME. As much as we loved Colorado it was definitely the highlight.

Go to Estes Park and have a look around the hotel from the Shining...
Go to RMNP and you could spend days...
Air Force Academy is worth the trip, your kids will like it...
You can drive up Pike's Peak, you're kids will like it and it will freak them out...

We rafted the Arkansas through Royal Gorge. Definitely a highlight of the trip.
Glad we didn't ride the Royal Gorge train.
Raft riders never stare at the train passengers, but all the train passengers stare at the raft riders

I did Pikes Peak And Garden of the Gods.
Looking down on Garden of the Gods was awesome from Pikes Peak.
Except I was out of breath.
You could do Rocky Mountain National Park or at least some of it.

I think the Air Force Academy is closed today visitors for now. I’ve ridden my bike around the loop there but never thought to take my kids there.
Pikes Peak is private run and you can drive to the top. It’s cool and scary.
Royal Gorge was letting you drive across the bridge.
Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is really cool. You can feed the giraffes. They also have a grizzly display where they set up a campsite then let the bears in to show you how fast they destroy shite. It’s a great zoo.
If Seven Falls is open it’s a really cool easy hike that is exactly what the name implies.
Manitou Springs is a cool place also for a few hours. The incline is closed but the town is neat.
I’d head into the mountains if I were you and maybe spend my first and last day in the Springs.

Rincon Argentino! It’s very delicious empanadas.

Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is one of the nicest zoos we have been to.
