Adventures Out West

The Pikes Peak region is one gigantic playground for visitors and locals — and Adventures Out West is here to bring the toys that will maximize your fun. Celebrating 50 years in the adventure-making business in Colorado Springs in 2023, Adventures Out West and its trusty crew of fun-loving guides specialize in bringing you the quintessential Rocky Mountain experience on wheels, on foot, on line (no, not the internet) and via basket. Yes, you read that right, a basket, the kind attached to a vibrant, high-flying hot air balloon!

In The Sky

Watch the panorama of Colorado’s splendor light up as the sun rises on the eastern plains, drifting gently through the sky in a hot air balloon. It’s a perfect treat for families and friends alike, but it also makes a rather dashing and romantic experience for marriage proposals, special anniversaries or even a unique date.

For those who like soaring through the air with a bit more speed and adrenaline, Adventures Out West offers exhilarating two-hour zip line tours right in the forests, hills and cliffs that surround Manitou Springs. Their zips are some of the best in Colorado, offering flyers the opportunity to leap from cliffs and cruise as high as 100 feet above the world. Their platforms are natural terrain, making you feel like a true Tarzan as you launch yourself to the next landing zone.

On The Ground

If it’s beginning to sound like Adventures Out West is a one-stop shop for Colorado fun, you’re not wrong. You can also ride the region in a roomy, open-air 4×4 Jeep, with tours that last as long as four hours and one that takes you all the way to the summit of Pikes Peak. They’ve also got a nifty Jeep n’ rafting combo that will awe you with the scenery of the Pikes Peak region and then douse you with the crisp white-water rapids of the Arkansas River. Did you know they have hikes, too? Explore the less-traveled trails that surround Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs, led by experienced guides who will ensure you see the Rockies like never before and get home safe and sound.

Those who want their adventure in Colorado to be a bit more relaxing without sacrificing fun will find the perfect opportunity on the Adventures Out West Segway tour through the world-famous Garden of the Gods. Known as one of the more challenging Segway routes in the United States, you’ll conquer hills and drop-offs and scenery that will take your breath away. Your guide will also give you all sorts of fun facts on the region and they give you a Segway lesson before the trip! Win, win, win.

When the folks at Adventures Out West tell you that “adventure starts here”, that’s pretty much the only time they aren’t playing around, because making your next trip memorable is serious business. Better get planning!
