Red Canyon Loop Half Day Jeep Tour in Cañon City booking from $129.00

Red Canyon Loop Half Day Jeep Tour

Overview

This interpretive 3-hour jeep tour departs from Canon City and meanders through bright red towering spires and monoliths sculpted by the erosion of the fountain formation. Your geological tour through time includes a short walk out to "Overlook Arch" and a up-close look at dinosaur footprints left over 107 million years ago. You will see where paleontologists have been removing dinosaur remains for over 140 years from one of the most famous digs in history along with ancient Indian petroglyphs.

This scenic tour is just one of the amazing locations we visit from our office in Cañon City. If this tour doesn't meet your needs, we most likely have one that does. We offer tours and packages from 3 hours to all day. Be sure to see our other listings for more options.

Red Canyon Park

At Red Canyon Park you can explore 600 acres of piñon, sage, and beautiful red rock from the Fountain Formation. Formed 290-296 million years ago, this rock was created by a series of braided streams carrying material eroded off of the Ancestral Rocky Mountains! Operated by the City of Cañon City, the secluded Red Canyon Park is a locals’ favorite. Here you can feel free to explore on the trail or off—a true adventure.

Skyline Drive

The single-lane, one-way road rises about 800 feet above the surrounding terrain. There are no guardrails despite sharp drop offs, and the drive is about 3 miles long.

Great tour! Beautiful views that you’d never see on your own. Brandon, our tour guide, was awesome. He was very knowledgeable and friendly.

Highlight of my Colorado trip. Amazing experience! It was a bumpy ride but that made it so fun! Best to go from 5-8pm so it’s cool outside and may see some wildlife on the way. Ask for Richard if you can! He is the bomb and is super sweet!!
