Take your family to the Garden of the Gods, a 1,300-acre park and a Registered National Natural Landmark comprised of towering red sandstone rock formations. Pick a short hiking trail and enjoy a pleasant picnic outdoors.
Descend the 1,000-foot vertical mine shaft and take a tour of the Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine, located halfway between Pikes Peak and the Royal Gorge.
Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, situated at 6,800 feet above sea level, is home to more than 800 animals. The Shrine of the Sun monument above the zoo offers beautiful views of Colorado Springs.
You can reserve your adventures through the concierge at the Broadmoor resort, or plan the vacation activities on your own.
