Pikes Peak & Garden of the Gods: Guided Tour

Visit Colorado to see unique and notable landmarks. Garden of the Gods, a public park in Colorado Springs, showcases distinctive rock formations like Balanced Rock and the Kissing Camels. Pikes Peak, reaching 14,115 feet in elevation, is often snow-capped and is said to have inspired the line "purple mountain majesties" in "America the Beautiful." Wildlife such as bighorn sheep, mountain lions, or snowshoe hares may be observed in its surroundings. Listen for the yellow-bellied marmot's unique call. Drive through Manitou Springs, a nearby town with its own attractions and connections to the area's history. These locations offer insight into Colorado's diverse natural and cultural landscape.
