Itinerário
As formações de rocha vermelha do Jardim dos Deuses foram criadas durante uma revolução geológica ao longo de uma linha de falha natural milhões de anos atrás. Evidências arqueológicas mostram que pessoas pré-históricas visitaram o Jardim dos Deuses por volta de 1330 aC. Por volta de 250 aC, os nativos americanos acamparam no parque; acredita-se que tenham sido atraídos para a vida selvagem e a vida vegetal na área e usaram saliências criadas pelas rochas como abrigo. Muitos povos nativos relataram uma conexão com o Jardim dos Deuses, incluindo Apache, Cheyenne, Comanche, Kiowa, Lakota, Pawnee, Shoshone e Ute.
Pikes Peak é o cume mais alto do sul da Cordilheira das Montanhas Rochosas, na América do Norte. O ultra-proeminente quadrante de 14.115 pés (4.302,31 m) está localizado na Floresta Nacional de Pike, a 19 km a oeste do centro de Colorado Springs, Colorado. A montanha é nomeada em homenagem ao explorador americano Zebulon Pike (embora ele não tenha conseguido chegar ao cume). A cúpula é mais alta do que qualquer ponto nos Estados Unidos a leste de sua longitude.
Manitou Springs é uma cidade turística no Colorado, nos arredores de Colorado Springs. É conhecida por suas fontes minerais e paisagens montanhosas, dominadas pelo alto Pikes Peak. As Manitou Cliff Dwellings são um grupo de estruturas antigas de penhascos remontadas. Centenas de degraus conduzem a uma encosta íngreme na trilha Manitou Incline. A Manitou Avenue abriga galerias de arte e butiques especializadas.
Em 2020, Colorado Springs ficou em 13º lugar na lista dos 52 lugares para ir do New York Times e em 10º lugar nos 25 principais destinos de tendências do TripAdvisor.

Had a great time!!!! Tour guide was awesome and knowledgeable!!!
Robert was a great tour guide. Highly recommend this tour for touring Pikes Peak
David was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Denver and the surrounding areas, and I learned a great deal during the drive. He was also very flexible and accommodating to the needs of the travelers, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Both sites we visited were fascinating. I would definitely recommend this tour with Explorer Tour.
Thank you for the 5-star review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour and found David’s knowledge of Denver and Colorado history so engaging. It’s wonderful to hear he was flexible and accommodating throughout the day. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another Colorado adventure soon!
Mark, our Explorers tours guide, picked us up at our air bnb. He returned us safely at the end of the tour. Mark asked what we wanted to see and made accommodations for our group of five, all who had mobility issues. We stopped to pick up lunches for a picnic and headed into Pikes Peak Park. Mark provided excellent information about the park. He was a very safe driver. When we reached the top of the Peak, we were dropped right off at the visitor center. Mark checked on us several times during the stay. He took our group pictures. We stopped at the visitor center for a picnic then proceeded down the mountain. We enjoyed the Garden of the Gods park and were given ample time to see everything we wanted I highly recommend Explorer Tours and Mark.
Pick up went very smooth. Travel was safe and the guide was well informed. Very knowledgeable about general history and the points of interest on the trip. Guide ensured maximum amount of time at each site and was able to recommend the best photo spots and hiking trails with levels of difficulty. Travel back was equally safe a great experience.
The trip was fantastic. Our guide was knowledgeable and was very accommodating. Be prepared for the change in temp between Garden of gods and Pikes. We should have brought heavier jackets.
We were picked up by Brian at our hotel in Downtown Denver. He was very friendly and professional. He started by giving us a tour of the downtown area and showing us the various stadiums and places of interest. He is very knowledgeable about the history of Denver, Pikes Peak and The Garden of the Gods. On our way to Pikes Peak he stopped for us to pick up lunch and to take pictures. He decided to take us to Pikes Peak first since the weather was a bit unpredictable that day. It was the best decision. The ride up to the summit was nothing short of amazing. The spectacular views were stunning and he was very diligent about giving us minute details of mountain. It was very interesting how the weather changed as we ascended to the summit. After taking pictures we headed back to the picnic area and had lunch. After lunch he stopped again for us to take pictures of the mountain. We then proceeded to the Garden of the Gods which was another wonder. The rock formations were beautiful. Brian gave us another history lesson on the formation of the rocks and the how it was discovered. After that we stopped for even more pictures at the Balanced Rock. On our way down we were very lucky to see some horned sheep. They were huge!! We then headed back to our hotel. Brian is an excellent guide.
Pike’s Peak and the Garden of the Gods tour is a once in a lifetime experience. We made it to the summit with the expert and superb guidance of our tour guide Brian. It was really a commendable experience. Brian is a topnotch tour guide and driver.
Our trip had to be cancelled due to weather and this organization cheerfully and quickly refunded our money and were excellent to work with. Thank you!!!
