September Gateway Guardians Private Event:

Date: Saturday, September 6, 2025
Time: 9-11:30am
Location: Meet at Garden of the Gods Visitor & Nature Center

Get ready for one of our most popular and unforgettable experiences — the Garden & Glen E-Bike Tour, an inspiring journey through the heart of Garden of the Gods Park and the historic Glen Eyrie Estate.

This electric bike tour begins with a 30-minute training at the Garden of the Gods Visitor & Nature Center and offers a modestly paced ride that’s suitable for most levels of riders. We’ll start our tour with a scenic 3.5-mile loop through the Central Garden, circling the iconic Gateway Rocks, with stops along the way for photos and fascinating stories about the park’s natural and cultural history.

From there, we’ll follow the bike path into the private and breathtaking Glen Eyrie Estate — once home to the visionary founder of Colorado Springs, General William Jackson Palmer. Nestled in a secluded canyon, this 700+ acre property features spectacular rock formations, views of the Glen Eyrie Castle, and a chance to learn about the deep connection between the estate and Garden of the Gods Park.

You might even catch a glimpse of rare golden eagle nests, Colorado Bighorn Sheep, or wild turkeys as you explore this quiet, awe-inspiring landscape. Throughout the ride, you’ll enjoy the comfort and ease of an electric bike, making you feel like a kid again!
