Scenic Tour of the Pikes Peak Highway (November thru April)
Similar deals
This guided tour is truly the best experience of Pikes Peak with the most relaxed schedule available. Our tour guide drivers are very friendly, safe, and knowledgable with a full explanation of interesting facts and stories throughout the entire tour. Our passenger vans are roomy and comfortable. Multiple stops are made along the Pikes Peak Highway at various scenic overlooks and structures on the way to the summit at 14,115 ft high. Additional stops can be requested for photo opportunities, wildlife spotting, and extra restroom breaks. ***Getting to the summit of Pikes Peak is never a guarantee! Snow, ice on the road, high wind gusts, low visibility, and other factors determine how much of the Pikes Peak Highway will be open at any given moment. This tour will go as far as we are safely permitted to do so. If the summit is closed (which can happen frequently during the months of Nov.-Apr.), we add the following: Garden of the Gods, Gold Camp Road, or Cheyenne Canyon to the tour. ***
