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.

My three sons and I, ages 9, 10 and 11, were vacationing in Colorado Springs. We decided to do the half day royal gorge jeep tour. My boys were fascinated. Wyatt was our tour guide and he was learned, interactive, kind to my three boys. They learned a lot and had a wonderful time in the open air jeep. It was the highlight of our trip! Five stars all the way. I look forward to going back to Colorado jeeps to do their white water rafting and zip line experience in the summertime.

We took a half day royal gorge jeep tour combined with the royal gorge train ride with lunch after the jeep tour. We had to get up early as we had a 2 hour drive from Denver where we were vacationing, but this tour was a perfect way to get a flavor for Southern Colorado. We can't remember our tour guide's name but is a retired national park service gentleman who was a perfect tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, responsive to our questions and provided us with a great experience. This is a great tour as the weather in Canon City is generally always nice and even in the fall/winter warms up during the day. The ride was very comfortable and we saw everything we wanted to see. Not something I would recommend for small children but ages 8ish and up would likely enjoy it. It was a little chilly to start the morning but expected for the end of October. As long as you come prepared with jackets, hats, mittens, and a blanket it's very comfortable. Would recommend this any day to people looking for a day trip to southern Colorado.

Tom was fantastic. Professional. Knowledgeable. Friendly. Funny. Tour was great. Was a jeep tour - four wheel granny. (Terrain required Tom to have jeep in four wheel drive in the lowest gear. Beautiful scenery only accessible by this tour.
