Fun way to tour the Cripple Creek District Railway and Garden of the Gods!
Great tour covering many of the important scenic stops in Garden of the Gods, Broadmoor Hotel and Cripple Creek District Railway. Fun option for anyone, but especially great for those with limited ability to hike. Truly enjoyed the affability and historic knowledge of our tour guide Curly Bill! Highly recommend this adventure!

Foothills, History, and Garden of the Gods Jeep Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Colorado Springs.
How much does Foothills, History, and Garden of the Gods Jeep Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $140 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Colorado Springs usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Foothills, History, and Garden of the Gods Jeep Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Colorado Springs is not rushed.
Is Foothills, History, and Garden of the Gods Jeep Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 635 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Colorado Springs, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Foothills, History, and Garden of the Gods Jeep Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Foothills, History, and Garden of the Gods Jeep Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Foothills, History, and Garden of the Gods Jeep Tour?
+
Around 222 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Colorado Springs can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Colorado Springs and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Foothills, History, and Garden of the Gods Jeep Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Colorado Springs within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Colorado Springs?
+
Colorado Springs runs Pikes Peak cog railway and jeep tours, Garden of the Gods drives and climbs, Manitou Springs walks, zip lines and Royal Gorge day trips. On Outty we rank every Colorado Springs experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pikes Peak Jeep Tour, Classic Food Tour in Colorado Springs, Signature Fins Course Scenic Zipline Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Colorado Springs?
+
May to September, with cog railway seats selling out in July and August. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Colorado Springs?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Foothills, History, and Garden of the Gods Jeep Tour?
+
Included: Blankets; and Guide. Not included: Transportation to/from attractions; Jeep tours are not private; and we ask that each guest is considerate of the other groups. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
We are located next door to Rudy's Little Hideaway Mexican Restaurant. Our driveway is very steep, please pull in slowly. Low-riding vehicles and RVs please use Olympic Village Drive to access our parking lot. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Foothills, History, and Garden of the Gods Jeep Tour offered in?
+
