What you can expect
Hop on board a Jeep equipped to drive up mountains and get ready for a personal and engaging experience with personable guides who's top priority is safety and ensuring you can kick back and enjoy the views and conversations.
Frequent stops will be made to get off the Jeep and explore and take photos, should you decide you want to.
We drive through the eclectic mountain town of Manitou Springs and drive up the Ute Pass on the north face of Pikes Peak. We'll soak in views of the mountain.
It's about an hours drive to the historic mining and gaming town of Cripple Creek, but the views are unforgettable. The Sawatch Mountain Range grace the views on the horizon. Once over Tenderfoot Pass, we descend into historic Cripple Creek where the Sangre de Cristo Mountains will come into view.
Once we leave Cripple Creek, we drive down Shelf Road. This is a dirt road that traverses canyons and valleys and this is a part of Colorado back country you can only experience this way! Spectacular scenery is an understatement. When we reach the end of Shelf Road, we will turn around and come back and stop at the Cripple Creek Heritage Centre for a break.
Scenic, historic, and fun!
