Highlights
  • Pikes Peak - America’s Mountain - During our tour of Pikes Peak, we will be making multiple stops at points of interest on our way to the top of the Peak and brand new, state of the art Summit House at 14,115 ft of elevation! Look out for bigfoot!
  • Bigfoot Crossing Sign - At this point in the tour, a sign has been placed “for your safety” as some of the most credible signings of Bigfoot have taken place near the area. Our tour almost always guarantees a sighting and of course, a photo with him!
  • Crystal Creek Reservoir - The Crystal Creek Reservoir features the first full look at the entire Pikes Peak mountain set against the body of water. The tour drives directly over the dam of this reservoir which also offers a gift shop, restrooms, and informative plaques for reading about local wildlife and history.
  • Historic Glen Cove Inn 11,450 ft - The historic Glen Cove Inn is an old ski lodge building which sits just under the timber line along the Pikes Peak Highway. At Glen Cove, you can expect to see the first striking view of the bald top of the mountain, highlighted by snow, most of the year. Also at Glen Cove are the Brake Check station, a gift shop, and restrooms.
  • Devils Playground - Once the tour reaches the top of the Switchbacks, we see the rock formation and area known as Devil’s Playground. We don’t want to spoil the surprise by telling you how it got the name!
  • Bottomless Pit - The Bottomless Pit is as you would expect! Just below the summit of Pikes Peak, the highway nears a steep cliff you can view from the very edge of the road and look down and out across and expansive scene. This location is a favorite for family photos!
  • Pikes Peak Center - The Summit House on top of Pikes Peak is a gorgeous, state of the art visitors center. In the Summit House, you can try the famous high-altitude doughnuts, learn about the history of the Peak with the exhibit, get your goodies in the gift shop, and experience work-class views throughout eh giant windows facing toward the east. Outside of the Summit House, you can walk around the Peak and experience 360 degree views that stretch all the way into Kansas and New Mexico. Take a photo at the newly installed Summit sign which boasts 14,115 feet of elevations.

A wonderful adventure!! - We were looking forward to a great trip to the top of the Peak — what we got was one fantastic experience!! The drive up was just amazing with spectacular views. John our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the various views, landscapes, animals, and interesting stories about the areas. As we traveled to the summit, dark clouds started to come in. At the summit the clouds became intense and it started to lightening and hail obstructing all views. At the top, unfortunately we had to stay inside the pavilion and wait for the storm to clear. This wasn’t bad with the terrific donuts and museum to entertain and learn more about the history of the Peak. Hail didn’t let up as we ran to our van to wait for a let-up. John decided to start down and was constantly engaged in looking out for our welfare and safety. Temp dropped to 34• with intense hail (covered the ground like a good 2” of snow!)! The trip down was also amazing with a clearing as we descended and very different sites. I’m sure if the weather cooperated and it was clear at the top the views would have been spectacular- yet our experience was unique and very memorable. Five stars to John our guide - he was first class!!!

Great way to see Pike's Peak - Our tour guide, John, was really nice and informative. He made us feel safe and was funny. He got Bigfoot to make an appearance which my 2 and 3 yr old grandkids were thrilled by! Not driving ourselves up and down the mountain made the trip so relaxing and we learned a lot about the history of Pike's Peak. The booking process was also easy and quick. Would recommend this tour to anyone interested in making the trip up Pike's Peak. Thank you to the entire staff for making this a great experience and being to accommodating us with our little ones.

Safe and fun trip. - We had a wonderful time with Jeremiah as our guide. He is so knowledgeable of the history of the park and he shares in such a way that you feel like you experienced it yourself. He’s a very cautious driver and makes sure you are comfortable and accommodated. The views were beautiful. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to take in all the sights and not have the worry of driving yourself. It’s great!!!! Take a jacket, it was very chilly.

A High Elevation Experience!!!!!!! - This was an amazing experience for my wife and I, it was so much better to have an Experienced driver like Jeremiah and a very knowledgeable man as well in a lot of subjects. I didn't want the stress of this, so I left it to the professionals and they didn't disappoint. This is an Absolute must do, you see so much more from this tour. Highly Recommend.
