Very few people have been determined enough to hike to this view much less have the option to be driven to it.This adventure includes everything in the half day trip, lunch and a 4×4 climb to “Overlook Arch.” Your afternoon tour will wind its way through the bright red rock of the Fountain Formation which is the same red rock formation that made the Garden of the Gods and Red Rocks Amphitheater famous.

Your jeep will pass by Indian petroglyphs and the site of Colorado’s first oil well on its way back to the base.
