Craving a mountain escape that blends big views with bigger thrills? Use this adventure itinerary in Colorado Springs to turn three days at Garden of the Gods Resort and Club into a high-energy + zero-stress getaway. This plan stacks your days with the best outdoor adventure and builds in smart recovery so you finish refreshed.
Day 1: Arrive, Meet Your Mountain, Ease Into the Action
Afternoon check-in is around 4pm. Drop your bag, step onto the balcony, and let the red-rock skyline set the tone. Swing by the concierge to map your weekend. Ask about booking a zipline adventure, Jeep tours, horseback rides in the park, guided hikes, e-bike rentals, or even full-day rafting. They’ll match your adrenaline needs to the right outfitters and timing.
After that, hit up the pool for a sunset swim. Shake off travel with a dip in the Infinity Pool — nothing says “adventure weekend in Colorado Springs” like watching alpenglow fade across Pikes Peak from the water.
When it’s dinner time, keep it easy with room service or head out for casual bites at one of our many highly-rated restaurants. Skim all on-property options here: Food & Drink. Then turn in early for the night because tomorrow is going to be full-throttle.
Day 2: Ziplines, E-Bikes, and a Golden-Hour Wind-Down

Day 3: Mobility, Recovery, and One Last Adventure
Here are some great options for your day three:
8:00 AM – Yoga for movers.
A guided flow helps restore hips, hamstrings, and shoulders after yesterday’s push. This an ideal bookend to your adventure itinerary in Colorado Springs.
IV Therapy option.
If you’re feeling the altitude, a session at Strata Med can support hydration and energy before travel. Just ask us about our wellness add-ons when you check in.
Late morning – Hot tub & pool cooldown.
Alternate soaks and swims for the fastest reset, then order lunch poolside.
Afternoon – One more adventure.
Choose from one of these to get that final adventure in:
- Quick hike in Garden of the Gods for that final postcard view.
- E-bike spin to loosen the legs.
- Falconry demo or zipline add-on if you still have gas in the tank.
Head back, pack up, and promise yourself you’ll be back soon. This is how an adventure weekend in Colorado Springs is supposed to feel.
What to Know Before You Go
Start hydrating before you hit the altitude and keep drinking water once you arrive. Colorado’s dry mountain air is sneaky, so bring a reusable bottle, add electrolytes when you can, and sip steadily throughout your adventure weekend in Colorado Springs. You’ll feel the difference on the trail, the zipline platform, and everywhere in between.
Pack layers. Mountain weather can pivot from sunny and warm to breezy and cool in a single hour, so a light shell, breathable base layers, a hat, and SPF will carry you comfortably from dawn workouts to golden-hour patio time.
Lock in your “big ticket” thrills early. Ziplining, rafting, guided hikes, and e-bike tours are popular adrenaline activities in Colorado Springs and prime times fill quickly. Let the concierge prioritize your must-dos and coordinate timing so the day flows.
Finally, build recovery into the plan. Performance climbs when you alternate push and pause. Add a mobility or yoga session to restore range, soak in the hot tub after long miles, and consider a quick IV therapy boost if altitude is new to you. A little smart recovery today means you’ll wake up on day three ready for one more win.
