GROUP TOUR DESCRIPTION - for
meeting planners
MOUNTAIN
TRAIL RIDES
We'll ride by old mines, deserted
cabins and across creeks. You stand a good chance of seeing
deer or even elk, as this is the same remote area where
we offer big game outfitting in the fall. The aspen groves,
pine trees and rock formations are beautiful. At the highest
point of the trail, you can see three different mountain
ranges at the same time. Two hour rides seem to
be about right for most guests who do not do a lot of
riding. An experienced wrangler accompanies all
guests. Your guide will help you with your horse
and take you to beautiful overlooks. Much of the
ride will be in the Pikes Peak National Forest.
Available AM
& PM daily. (1
hr and 2 hr)

Nothing beats
horseback riding
in the Rocky Mountains

This is a wonderful
Jeep outing for guests that have a little less time and/or
want a dramatic way to end the day. (The tour may
also be scheduled at other times during the day)
As a "sunset tour" it departs daily at approximately
two hours before sunset and returns just before dark.
Your authentic cowboy
driver takes you out of town via North Cheyenne Canyon
past The Star Kempf sculpture garden, fast-flowing mountain
springs, Helen Hunt Falls, and into the foothills of Pikes
Peak. 2000 feet above Colorado Springs we follow the old
Shortline Railroad grade, now known as, Gold Camp Road.
The views out over the city to the plains of Kansas can
be as great as 105 miles. You'll travel hrough two original
railroad tunnels blasted through solid rock and eventually
wind down into the Old Colorado City National Historic
District. Along the tour your guide will share tall
tales and true stories of Colorado and the West.
For the evening version,
the sun is setting as we enter Garden of the Gods with
its spectacular red rock formations bathed in purple shadows
and highlighted by the setting sun. During the day,
you'll often see expert climbers ascending the rock walls
of Garden of the Gods...hundreds of feet in height. We
stop at photo points along the way that show Pikes Peak
with a backdrop of beautiful cloud formations and the
flaming sunset.
2 hours long
We recommend adding
a coolers of beverages for each jeep to enjoy during the
tour.
