5.00It is 8 hours but not overly strenuous. Walking around Garden of the Gods is easy, no hiking at all. Manitou Springs can be busy (we were there on a Thursday). You won’t really have time to look around if you get a sit down meal. Maybe consider bringing subs, or something, instead. Pike’s Peak was great. It’s a long drive up but the scenery is worth it! Drink, drink, drink your water and move slowly at the peak if you aren’t used to thin air.
