On our recent trip to Denver our first activity was the tour to see the Gardens of the Gods and Pikes Peak. The Gardens are amazingly beautiful and a relaxing area to put down all electronics and just enjoy. The view from Pikes Peak was breathtaking. Both of these places were on our "must see list" and we were not disappointed. Nick, our tour guide, was equally amazing. He is very knowledgeable of all the Denver historical sites, the various areas we passed on the way, and a great driver on the winding mountain roads. If you are from a lower elevation be sure to hydrate the days before and drink water during the entire tour. Also, plan for the weather and dress in layers. Our day started out cool then warmed up and then was very cold at the summit of Pikes Peak.
