About this experience
Have you ever wondered what the city of Colorado Springs looks like from a thousand feet above? The Pikes Peak Bike Tours team will take your breath away by first transporting you up the historic and scenic Old Stage Road. From there, a gorgeous scenic bike ride will take you down Gold Camp Road. Locomotives once transported raw gold from Cripple Creek gold mine to a Colorado Springs gold refinery on this historic path. This experience offers vast panoramic views of the front range at a ride at your own pace speed. The tour is approximately 13 miles long with minimal exertion. Gold Camp Road is a leisurely descent at a 2% grade on gravel terrain with minimal obstacles and incredible tunnels blown by dynamite dating back to the late 1800s. Experience the beauty of Colorado in its entirety as you peer into the distance breathing in the crisp mountain air. Duration is expected to last 3 to 3 1/2 hours depending on the riders.

What you'll see and do
Upper Gold Camp Road
The Gold Camp Road Tunnels were constructed during the 1800s to help support the ongoing Pike’s Peak Gold Rush. Connecting Cripple Creek and Colorado Springs, a railway was laid down on the route that is now Gold Camp Road. Known as the “Short Line,” train service began in 1901, with 200 freight cars used to haul minerals, supplies, and people throughout the area. The supposed haunting of the Gold Camp Road Tunnels has beckoned the curious to investigate for decades, with many urban myths surrounding the “abandoned” looking tunnels. Perhaps the best-known myth about the area relates to the 1988 tunnel collapse and claims that a bus full of school children became stuck and killed during the accident. While there is no record of such an incident occurring, some visitors of the Gold Camp Road Tunnels have claimed to have left the area with tiny handprints on their cars from the spirits of the deceased.

Amazing Experience! Would do Again
Amazing experience with an amazing tour guide. Tons of fun even for a beginner who has never mountain biked! The guide made us feel safe and allowed us to choose if we wanted to attempt the harder trails or not. The views were incredible and so worth it. Overall a great time and would do again/recommend to others.

The peaceful, beautiful outdoors
Second time riding with this outfit and once again they didn't disappoint. I was a little hesitant with the terrain being dirt/sand and stones which isn't my typical paved road type of ride. Figured I give it a go since my husband likes these types of rides. So glad I did it because our guide, Mark, was so patient and made me feel at ease within a few minutes of riding. The bikes are top quality and do really well on this terrain. Mark is super knowledgeable about the area and admires/respects it. The ride is pretty much downhill the entire time, with some fun tunnels thrown in along the way. The best part for us was the peacefulness and the beauty that surrounded us throughout the tour - and of course our fun guide!

Bike Pike Fun!
Our travel guide, David, made the experience so fun and memorable! Very knowledgeable about the area and history and super skilled on the mountain bike. He talks you through the trip and makes sure everyone is comfortable. This ride has something for everyone and is good for various experience levels.

Fantastic guides, easier downhill trail, amazing views and tunnels
Our guides were fantastic! This was by far the best tour we could find becase: - It was all downhill - The trails are challenging but not too hard (they are wide most of the way) - The guides had water and supplies and were beside us the entire way - You ride all the way from the top of the mountain back to the bike store itself (very convenient)

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Mountain Bike Tour: Gold Camp Road: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Colorado Springs.
How much does Mountain Bike Tour: Gold Camp Road cost?
+
Prices start at $258 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 Mountain Bike Tour: Gold Camp Road take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Mountain Bike Tour: Gold Camp Road worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Colorado Springs, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Mountain Bike Tour: Gold Camp Road?
+
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 Mountain Bike Tour: Gold Camp Road suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Mountain Bike Tour: Gold Camp Road?
+
Around 2 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mountain Bike Tour: Gold Camp Road 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, Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods Jeep 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.
