Please note: The Fort Hood area and San Diego figures follow our own open-carrier orders heading into Colorado since 2023 and describe only the trip toward Colorado Springs, so a car going back to Texas or out to California is quoted separately. Phoenix, Chicago and Washington reflect what customers paid for trips of comparable distance from September 2025 to August 2026. Season, fuel and the vehicle shape the final number, which a specialist confirms on a call once your emailed estimate is in.
The Peak Above the Garden
Garden of the Gods raises its red sandstone fins at the city’s edge, free to every visitor, with Pikes Peak behind it at 14,115 feet. The cog railway and the summit road both climb it, and the view earned the words to “America the Beautiful.”
