About
The Airforce has some incredible views of Colorado Springs. The chapel with its 17 spires is impressive both from the outside as well as the inside with its stained glass windows. The Garden of the Gods has some of the most unique red rocks formations in its 1000 plus acres park. The Cog Rail going up to Pikes Peak will be closed for an extended period of time in 2019, therefore the only way up to the peak in currently now the road. The views from the road up to Pikes Peak are extraordinary as you drive up 19 miles of road to the summit of 14,115 feet.
We will pick you up! Please note that pick up locations further than 15 miles from downtown Denver will require an additional charge of $20.
