The experience

Garden of the Gods Segway Tour departs from the Visitor and Nature Center and covers the Juniper Loop route over 90 minutes. You'll spend most of the ride on the Segway itself, moving at a mellow pace that lets you take in the unobscured views of the park's red rock landscape. The guide points out specific formations (Kissing Camels, Praying Hands, Park Overlook), and explains the geologic story behind them, plus the cultural history and tall tales of the Old West and Colorado Springs.

Wildlife sightings are part of the route: mule deer, Big Horn Sheep, red-tailed hawks and eagles' nests appear throughout the park. The guide also draws your attention to the exotic plant life and the hidden caricatures carved into the rock faces by time and erosion. A few short stops break up the ride, but the Segway keeps you moving and covers ground you'd cover on foot much more slowly.

Before you ride, you'll get Cone Zone safety training and a helmet. Dress in layers and wear closed-toe shoes. The pace is steady but not strenuous, and the guide is trained to keep the group together. Tours run with a minimum of two people, and children must be at least 12 years old.

Is this one for you?You ride the Segway yourself at a steady, mellow pace (not a guided walk or a passive ride), so the tour suits anyone 12 and older who wants to cover more ground than hiking allows while staying in control of the pace. The shared group format means you travel with other riders and hear stories from a professional guide, which works well if you want the local knowledge and company. If you prefer to explore alone, a private rental would suit you better.
