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.

Wyatt was our guide / driver. He was great. A wonderful tour with the best views ever. Make sure you’re ready to get bounced around when you get into the mountains. And watch out for cacti! Sights we’d never have been able to see and a great trip to take BEFORE going to Royal Gorge. You’ll get lots of tips before that visit

A once in a lifetime experience. Brandon was an amazing guide, he told us a lot of history & made us laugh! The scenery on this tour was just breathtaking, we would have never been able to see what we did if we didn’t go on this tour!

GO ON THIS TOUR!!! (but try to go in the morning in the summer because it will get toasty in the afternoon). My husband and I took our 12 year old on the half day tour guided by Scott and it was AWESOME! I really didn't know what to expect but found along the way that the tour goes through town and over/through incredible geological areas (don't want to give away any spoilers). You should know that Scott, a high school teacher and football coach, is the BEST and you'll have a great time and learn a lot so try to get on his jeep. Our 12 year old has some significant ADHD and a four hour history/geology/important/significant sights tour full of interesting facts isn't at the top of his list - normally - but Scott kept him engaged the entire trip and our kiddo said he loved the tour. TIP - even on the morning tour, it gets warm so longer shorts/capri pants are better on the vinyl. You probably won't need a hat with the canopy but sunscreen and sunglasses are a must. There are two cup holders in the back but it can get bouncy when you go off road and we were glad our son's water bottle had a carabiner to clip on to an unused seatbelt. My husband brought the big camera and got great shots - Scott stopped any time we asked and even took our photo at some key spots. I told my parents about the tour and they are planning on going this fall when they visit Colorado. Great for kids, adults and grandparents (careful, though, with balance issues/low muscle tone as much of the trek is off road and some 4-wheel technical spots that will toss you around a bit which, while super fun, may be too much for folks with balance/low muscle tone issues) - highly recommend.
