E-Bike Garden of the Gods: Highlights & Hidden Gems Guided Tour

Morning sun slices between the cathedral-like sandstone fins as you clip into an electric-assist bike and push off from a gravel lot, the town of Manitou Springs folding behind you. The motor hums to life and the trail opens: a ribbon of scenic road and hard-packed bike path that threads past rust-red rock ribs, scrubby pinyon, and sudden clear sightlines to Pike's Peak. On this two-hour loop, the landscape does the talking — the rocks lean, split, and balance as if time itself were an artisan — while your guide layers in geology, local lore, and the odd human eccentricity that dots the town below.
