Explore Pikes Peak & Garden of the Gods

Explore Pikes Peak & Garden of the Gods

Trade the city for mountain air on this full-day adventure to two of Colorado’s most spectacular destinations. Begin with a scenic drive up to Pikes Peak, with winding mountain curves and wide-open views. Enjoy the crisp alpine air and sweeping overlooks set the stage for a classic Colorado experience.

Descend into Manitou Springs, a historic town tucked at the base of the Rockies. Here you’ll enjoy time to explore its boutique shops, bubbling mineral springs, and a variety of restaurants for lunch on your own.

In the afternoon, walk among the towering sandstone formations of the Garden of the Gods. Balanced Rock, Cathedral Valley, and other striking landmarks rise dramatically against the mountain backdrop, offering unforgettable photo opportunities.

On the return trip, your guide may take the scenic foothills route (weather and traffic allowing). This alternate drive winds through rustic mountain towns and a pass by the world-famous Red Rocks Amphitheatre before arriving back in Denver.
