Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE ROUTE

A self-guided circuit through Garden of the Gods

Riders follow a large circular route through Garden of the Gods, giving ample opportunity to stop for photos and move at their own pace while enjoying the park’s signature views.

THE RIDE

Premium e-bikes that ease the hills

These electric bikes make the park’s climbs noticeably easier, letting riders focus on the scenery and the ride rather than the effort of the ascent.

FAMILY-FRIENDLY

Family bikes and child seating available

The operator accommodates children with family bikes that can be fitted with child seats or with passenger seating for older youngsters, allowing mixed-age groups to ride together.

What the day feels like

How the outing feels

The experience is compact and focused: you get a short briefing, climb aboard a high-quality e-bike and move through open air into Garden of the Gods. The electric assist removes much of the physical strain of climbing so riders spend their energy looking outward — at dramatic rock faces, sky, and long sightlines — and pausing for photographs rather than pushing pedals uphill.
