This interpretive 3-hour jeep tour departs from Canon City and meanders through bright red towering spires and monoliths sculpted by the erosion of the fountain formation. Your geological tour through time includes a short walk out to "Overlook Arch" and a up-close look at dinosaur footprints left over 107 million years ago. You will see where paleontologists have been removing dinosaur remains for over 140 years from one of the most famous digs in history along with ancient Indian petroglyphs. This scenic tour is just one of the amazing locations we visit from our office in Cañon City. If this tour doesn't meet your needs, we most likely have one that does. We offer tours and packages from 3 hours to all day. Be sure to see our other listings for more options.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on the Jeep tour?

A: There's no strict age limit, but they recommend kids be at least 5 years old to enjoy the ride and understand the tour. It's a pretty bumpy ride in places, so younger kids might not enjoy it as much. Just make sure they can sit safely in the seatbelt! Also, it’s definitely a great way to get kids interested in dinosaurs and geology.

Q: What should I wear for the Jeep tour in September?

A: It’s best to dress in layers since mornings can be chilly but warm up quickly. Closed-toed shoes are a must since you'll be walking out to Overlook Arch. Also, a hat and sunscreen are recommended because the sun can be pretty intense out there, even in the fall. You might also want to bring a light jacket just in case it gets windy.

Q: What if the weather turns bad? Can we reschedule?

A: Yes! Colorado Jeep Tours is super flexible with weather-related cancellations. If the weather looks bad on the day of your tour, just give them a call, and they’ll help you reschedule to another day. They really want everyone to have a great experience, so no worries there!

Just did the Red Canyon Loop Jeep Tour - Amazing Experience!

Wow, I just got back from the Red Canyon Loop Jeep Tour in Canon City, and it was incredible! The towering red spires are even more breathtaking in person. Our guide shared so much about the geology and the dinosaur footprints—107 million years old! The short walk to Overlook Arch was a highlight. Perfect gift for a nature lover! I booked it for my partner’s birthday next month, and I can’t wait to go again.

Gift Idea: Red Canyon Loop Jeep Tour!

I’m thinking of getting the Red Canyon Loop Jeep Tour for my dad’s birthday. He loves dinosaurs and the outdoors. Has anyone done it? What do you think he’d enjoy most? It seems like it includes a lot of cool history too, which I know he’d love!
