Escape
for a few hours to take in the beauty and history of Colorado
Springs. Waterfalls, 100 mile views, the Garden
of the Gods, and two National Historic Districts all are
included in this jeep tour.
Your
tour begins as you are picked up by a Cowboy guide in
our custom 4x4 safari-style Jeep Scramblers. Head
out of town via North Cheyenne Canyon past, Helen Hunt
Falls and into the foothills of Pikes Peak. 2000
feet above Colorado Springs we follow the old Shortline
Railroad grade down through two old railroad tunnels.
Even though it's been 100 years since the train stopped
running, you'll still see evidence as black cinder smoke
stains still adorn the walls and ceiling of the tunnels.
to the Old Colorado City and Manitou Springs Historic
Districts. The views out over the city to the plains
of Kansas are as great as 105 miles. Stop for photos at
"Inspiration Point" where Teddy Roosevelt once
gandered out and stated..."this view bankrupts the
English language!"
Along
the tour your guide will be sharing tall tales and true
stories about Colorado and the West. In the summer
months the top can be off the Jeep and your photo opportunities
are unlimited. We complete the drive with a tour
of the Garden of the Gods with its spectacular red rock
formations. If you sweet talk your guide there is
a good chance he or she will let you stop along the way
to pick out a Colorado memento or two before you return
to the hotel. The Garden of the Gods Trading Post is our
most popular shopping spot.
Depending on time, your
cowboy driver will take you through the quaint town of
Manitou Springs famous for its' bubbling mineral springs.
Your guide will even let you sample the naturally carbonated
spring water...high in calcium and iron.
We recommend adding a cooler
of beverages for each Jeep to enjoy.
