Why Bike Garden of the Gods?
Garden of the Gods is one of the most photographed landscapes in North America — 300-million-year-old red sandstone formations rising 300 feet above the valley floor, framed by Pikes Peak. Our guided mountain bike tour puts you right in the middle of it. You'll cover ground that foot traffic can't reach, stop at viewpoints most visitors never find, and have a local expert bring the geology and history to life. With routes suitable for beginners through intermediate riders, this is the perfect Colorado Springs tour for families, couples, and first-time visitors.
What to Expect on Your Garden of the Gods Bike Tour
Starting at the Pikes Peak Adventure Center in Old Colorado City, you'll be fitted with a Trek mountain bike before the short ride to the park entrance. Inside, your guide leads you past Balanced Rock, Cathedral Spires, the Kissing Camels, and the iconic Gateway Rocks — with Pikes Peak filling the skyline behind you. Expect frequent stops for photos and your guide's commentary on 300 million years of geology, Native American history, and the story of how this land came to be given freely to the citizens of Colorado Springs. The tour covers 6–8 miles and takes approximately 2–2.5 hours.
