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.

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Rick, our guide was wonderful! He was incredibly informative. He also has superb people skills, knowing when to talk, when to listen, and seemed to know just the right time and right way to move from one great site to the next. We highly recommend this tour!

We just love reading reviews like this! Anyone can buy jeeps and give tours, but it really is the educated, informative and personable guides that make all the difference in the jeeping experience. We're thrilled to know that Rick did such a wonderful job. Please come back and see us again the next time you're in the area.

We did this tour as a fluke after asking some people that were on it the day before if it was worth it. They said yes and ask for Rick! We booked for the next day (with Rick), so glad we did. We learned so much about Canon City and saw some beautiful views and several wild animals. If you have trouble with the heat do the morning tour. Very worth it!

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.
