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 kids and I really enjoyed our half day jeep tour with Scott! He was so knowledgeable and friendly! We learned a lot about Cañon City, Temple Canyon and Royal Gorge and Skyline Drive. Beautiful views throughout the entire tour…Truly an unforgettable experience!

Mike was an excellent driver and tour guide! My daughter and I were the only riders this tour. Mike pointed out local points of interest around town, the countryside and then drove to a high point lookout over the Rayal Gorge. We then descended and drove across the Royal Gorge Bridge. We stopped in the Park for about 30 minutes to look around (restrooms, gift shop, restaurant). With the cost of our ticket for this tour, we also received entrance tickets for this Park. Great photo op of the gorge here.

We took this tour on January 2nd, which coincided with a rare snowfall the previous day. We were a group of 7 ranging from ages 16 to 49. Booking was ready because of Jennifer and Will. I booked online but had some questions which both of them answered professionally. We arrived for our tour and got checked on and introduced to Wyatt. He was an AMAZING tour guide! We are from Florida and we're concerned about being cold in the 15 degree weather. No problems. They put the plastic windows on the jeep, cranked up the heat and even have us lap blankets. They will do everything within their post to ensure your comfort and fun. The tour was filled with interesting stories about the history of Canon city, Colorado and the old west. It was VERY interesting for all of us and kept us very engaged. We felt very safe even on the treacherous road because of the weather but enjoyed the bumps and adventure of a 4×4 tour. We saw big horn sheep, deer and a bald eagle. The drive over the royal gorge Bridge was awesome! Highly recommend! Thanks team for a great day filled with adventure, history and family memories!
