It was a great trip

It is 8 hours but not overly strenuous. Walking around Garden of the Gods is easy, no hiking at all. Manitou Springs can be busy (we were there on a Thursday). You won’t really have time to look around if you get a sit down meal. Maybe consider bringing subs, or something, instead. Pike’s Peak was great. It’s a long drive up but the scenery is worth it! Drink, drink, drink your water and move slowly at the peak if you aren’t used to thin air.

Ryan was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He projected his voice so well so that everyone in the fan could hear him and was constantly making sure everyone was hydrated and comfortable.
