What To Expect

Royal Gorge Bridge and Park

Look down into the breathtaking Royal Gorge as this tour takes you over America’s highest suspension bridge nearly 1000 feet above the Arkansas River. Exclusive access through the south entrance to the Royal Gorge Bridge and Park and to the top of Fremont Peak allow you to see and experience true Colorado beauty.

Skyline Drive

Skyline Drive is a scenic roadway in Cañon City, Colorado. It was built by inmate labor in 1905.[1] The road starts from U.S. Highway 50, with a gradual incline up the side of a ridge. When the road crests, it winds, climbs, and falls like a roller coaster until near its end, where a scenic outlook overlooks both the city (east) and the highway (west). 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.

Temple Canyon Park

Temple Canyon road winds over the Royal Gorge anticline through the ancient hunting grounds of the Ute tribe. The canyon road passes "The Temple" but you have to know where to look. Fossils can be seen along the road with other geological wonders.

All sales are final. No refund is available for cancellations.

My husband (who is a paraplegic) and I took the afternoon Royal Gorge Tour and had an amazing time. Bart was our guide and he was very knowledgeable and spent extra time answering all of our questions and showing us the terrain in this area. They went above and beyond in assisting my husband into the jeep and making him feel comfortable for the entire 4 hour ride. I would highly recommend this tour.

Thank you, Lorrie! We have been working very hard to ensure that our tours are accessible to everyone. We sincerely appreciate your kind words about our tours, and about your guide, Bart. I will be sure to tell him what you said. We hope to see you and your husband again soon.

We did the half day ride with Mel. It was terrific. We not only saw spectacular views from the tops of mountains and ridges, we learned about the geology and history of the people that make up the beautiful landscape. We highly recommend the excursion.

Thanks very much for your nice review and for jeeping with us, Steve. Mel is one of our most experienced guides, and he's extremely knowledgeable on many topics. I'm happy to hear you enjoyed your tour with him. We hope to see you again soon!

Our group of 4 took the half day Jeep Tour of Royal Gorge on a Sunday. We were between renting our own Jeep and taking the tour, but opted for the Tour and were so glad we did! The information provided and the views were excellent. We were able to go through areas that are not for public use, including driving across the Royal Gorge Bridge. Our tour guide was Bart and he was fun, informational and accommodating. We combined this package with a half-day of rafting as well. Highly recommend!

Yay! So happy to know that Bart did a great job. We know that the time people spend on vacation is relatively short, and we do our best to help you make the most of it. I love our package tours (Jeep & Raft, Jeep & Train, and more) for that very reason. You get to do more than one fun adventure in a single day, without having to worry about logistics, transportation, wasted time, parking, etc. Thank you for your very nice review and for your business. We hope to see you again soon for another tour.
