Day 1: Arrive, Unwind, and Reset

Check in, step onto your balcony, and let the red-rock skyline slow your breathing. Take in the view and soak up the peace that kicks off your self-care trip to Colorado Springs. Slip into a robe, draw a warm bath, and brew a calming tea to shake off the travel day.

When you’re ready for dinner, choose from a fireside cocktail and small plates at Rocks Lounge, or enjoy a mountain-modern meal at Grand View (browse all options under Food & Drink).

Back in your room, wind down with in-room dining, cue a playlist, and watch the sun fade to starlight from your balcony. Tonight is all about rest, so tomorrow can be all about adventure.

Day 2: Move, Explore, and Treat Yourself

Grand View at Garden of the Gods Colorado Springs

Greet the day with a guided class at Strata Fit. Whether you pick strength, mobility, or yoga, thoughtful instruction makes it approachable, perfect for a solo vacation in Colorado Springs. After class, fuel up with fresh juice and coffee, then linger over breakfast with front-row vistas at Grand View.

With energy to spare, head into the park for gentle exploration. Garden of the Gods’ wide, well-marked paths make it ideal for things to do solo in Colorado Springs. These trails are easy to navigate, endlessly photogenic, and stunning at every turn. 

Return midday and claim a lounger at the Infinity Pool. Order lunch to your chair and alternate sunshine with a quick swim. When afternoon melts into evening, book time at Strata Spa for a therapeutic massage or a glow-boosting facial, exactly the kind of solo treat that turns a getaway into a reset. If the sky stays clear, wander back to the Rocks Patio for a mocktail or cocktail as the sun drops behind Pikes Peak.

Day 3: Leisurely Morning, Learn Something New, One Last View

Pickleball at Garden of the Gods Colorado Springs

Savor an unhurried breakfast at Grand View, then lean into a new skill or sport — because solo is the best time to try it! Join a pickleball clinic or open play at the resort’s recreation areas, meet fellow travelers courtside, and enjoy the social, low-pressure pace. 

Prefer quiet time? Trade the court for a second coffee on the terrace and a chapter of your book. Before you pack, take a final soak or stroll. It’s those last minutes of altitude air and red-rock color seal in the sense of calm you came for.

How This Solo Plan Works

The cadence is intentional: Day 1 restores, Day 2 expands, Day 3 refines. You’ll balance movement and stillness, social moments and solitude, scenic exploration and spa-level care. These are the hallmarks of unforgettable solo travel in Colorado Springs. With most essentials on property and the park minutes away, logistics fade into the background so presence can take the lead.
