Our tour group, which was just the right size with <15 people, was led by Hudson who was incredibly informative and genuinely passionate about Colorado and its history. He kept us on time without rushing us and kept safety in mind especially as the weather at Pikes Peak got severely cold, windy and snowy. Garden of the Gods was breathtaking and it was very fun to be able to climb on the rocks and explore on our own. From there, we made another quick stop and also had lunch before driving up ~1hour to Pikes Peak. At Pikes Peak, we were at 14,000ft in the air above the air and the weather quickly did a 180 and pretty soon we were all freezing but it was definitely worth it. Overall, would highly recommend!
