crisp air make for a memorable experience. Hikes at all levels are available and ask for our group rates if you have more than 8 people. Most hiking locations are very close to Colorado Springs so that just means more time in the outdoors for you!

Not only will it be great exercise but the scenery and views will be stunning. All transportation (pickup at your hotel), equipment (bikes, helmets, etc.), drinks, and snacks are included. Our mountain bikes are full suspension and have disc brakes. There is a 3 person minimum for mountain bike rides.
