About
The Pikes Peak Tour begins in Denver and shows you the beauty to be found in the state of Colorado. This day-long trip includes the Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak and a drive through historic Manitou Springs.
-
The first thing you will notice about the Garden of the Gods is the variety of red, pink, and white sandstone rock formations. The beauty of these ancient geological formations has amazed people for centuries. On your tour, there will be ample time for you to explore and many photo opportunities.
-
The next stop on the itinerary is the majestic view from the top of Pikes Peak. The mountain stands at 14,115 feet and is the tallest mountain in the southern Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. As you stand at the summit, you will have a beautiful view of Colorado Springs and the rest of the Rocky Mountain range. With the right conditions, you will see for miles, enjoying all the natural beauty.
-
After descending from the mountain, our tour continues with a drive through Manitou Springs, a small resort town to the west of Colorado Springs. The town was founded in the late 1800s to be a health spa centered on the eight natural mineral springs in the area.
When you travel with us, you can trust that it will be a day to remember.
