Itinerary

  • Garden of the Gods

    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 as you examine formations with names like Balanced Rock, Cathedral Spires and Steamboat Rock.

    1 hour

  • Pikes Peak Center

    The next stop on the itinerary is the majestic view from the top of Pikes Peak. This peak was also known as Sun Mountain by the Ute people and El Capitan by Spanish explorers, but it was later named after the explorer Zebulon Pike. It is also known as America’s Mountain because the magnificent vista at the top inspired the lyrics of “America, the Beautiful.” 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.

    3 hours

  • Manitou Springs (Pass By)

    After descending from the mountain, our tour continues in 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. Once you have enjoyed the sights of Manitou Springs, it will be time to head back to Denver. As the sun sets over the western Rockies, your tour of the natural wonders of Colorado will come to a close. When you travel with us, you can trust that it will be a day to remember.

  • Colorado Springs (Pass By)

    In 2020, Colorado Springs ranked #13 on the New York Times 52 Places to Go list and #10 in TripAdvisor's Top 25 Trending Destinations.

Our trip to Pikes Peak

Dave was a wealth of information and very friendly. My wife and I had a great time. I would recommend Explorer Tours to everyone. Thanks

A perfect Pike’s Peak tour… including The Garden of the Gods.

Published on Oct, 2024

The tour was full of scenic views of the Garden of the Gods and the mountainsides leading up to Pike’s Peak. The tour guide was knowledgeable and attentive.

Worth the cost

Published on Sep, 2024

Our driver gave a great background and was very cordial. His knowledge covered not only the tour but also information on the way there.

Pikes peak

Published on Sep, 2024

Educational. On time. Pleasant and accomodating tour guide. Mark was very knowledgeable and engaging. The tour exposes you to the most beautiful and majestic views in Colorado. If you suffer with motionsickness, walk with your vomit bag. Lots of bathroom stops. Appropriate for all ages and all energy levels. Very high altitudes. Be aware.
