What To Expect
1
Garden of the Gods
The beauty of these ancient geological formations has amazed people for centuries. On your tour, there will be ample time for you to explore and many photo opportunities as you examine formations with names like Balanced Rock, Cathedral Spires and Steamboat Rock.
2
Pikes Peak Center
The next stop on the itinerary is the majestic view from the top of Pikes Peak. This peak was also known as Sun Mountain by the Ute people and El Capitan by Spanish explorers, but it was later named after the explorer Zebulon Pike. It is also known as America’s Mountain because the magnificent vista at the top inspired the lyrics of ā€œAmerica, the Beautiful.ā€ The mountain stands at 14,115 feet and is the tallest mountain in the southern Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. As you stand at the summit, you will have a beautiful view of Colorado Springs and the rest of the Rocky Mountain range. With the right conditions, you will see for miles, enjoying all the natural beauty.
3
Manitou Springs
After descending from the mountain, our tour continues in Manitou Springs, a small resort town to the west of Colorado Springs. The town was founded in the late 1800s to be a health spa centered on the eight natural mineral springs in the area. Once you have enjoyed the sights of Manitou Springs, it will be time to head back to Denver. As the sun sets over the western Rockies, your tour of the natural wonders of Colorado will come to a close. When you travel with us, you can trust that it will be a day to remember.

I enjoyed the tour although they are working on visitors center at the top of the mountain. This meant we couldn't go to top like we signed on for. Wish they would have told us this before the tour started. Guid was talkative & gave interesting info as we went along. The tour over all was good.

Dear Jennifer, thank you for taking time to review Pikes Peak Tour. We are happy to see you had a good experience. Your review means a lot to us. Unfortunately, we have no controls of weather nor road closures. Before we leave Denver we always check if the road is open or not, but it doesn't mean that the road will be open when we get there. Rangers can close the road for any reason (weather, constriction, car accidents etc.) and in this case we drive as high as possible. Thanks again for the review and for being such a great customer.
