Garden of the Gods Jeep Tour

If you’re heading to Colorado Springs, you can’t miss exploring the iconic Garden of the Gods. And if you’re looking for a fun and adventurous way to tour the area, Adventures Out West has a variety of tour and excursion options.

Adventures Out West

Located right in the heart of scenic Colorado Springs, this company provides jeep tours, segway tours, hot air balloon rides and more!

We opted to head out and see the area via an open air jeep tour.

Our guide who went by the nickname “Prairie Dog” was friendly, outgoing and super informative. He drove us up through the mountains, making jokes and easy conversation as we sped along.

Things To Know

Tours last 2.5 – 3 hours

The tour is a great length! We went in the morning at 9am and got back around noon. After the tour, we went for local Mexican food in Manitou Springs. Ask your guide for recommendations!

Water and a light snack is included

Colorado can be hot and dry in the summer. Water will be included and the jeep does have a sun cover to provide shade but you still may get burnt being outside so wear sunscreen anyway.

Buckle up! You’ll be going over some bumpy roads as you drive through the mountains

You will cruise along narrow, bumpy one-way roads on the tour so prepare to be jostled around a bit.

Prepare to be dazzled by the unique, one of kind landscape here.

After driving through the mountains and stopping at a trading post to use the restroom or briefly shop, your guide will give you time to hop out and snap some pictures in the park.

As we drove along, Prairie Dog was quick to point out interesting formations in the rocks and to share fun facts about the founding of the park.

The park is free to visit and is home to many great hiking trails.

After your tour, I suggest returning to explore further on foot!
