And it's easy to get to. A must do for any visit to Colorado Springs. And the Trading Post is neat also. It's... More

We only spent about half an hour walking around these amazing rocks, and it was only because we had limited time that we didn't explore further. It was fairly obvious, from the number of people that were there at the time, that this place is pretty popular and I know that if I lived in Colorado Springs it would be... More

The park itself can get pretty crowded but if you go at off times the hiking is great and is suited more towards travlers. The rocks themselves are about as cool and interesting as rocks get if you are not a geologist. If you enjoy rocks and nature this is a great place to go in Colorado Springs.

Garden of the Gods is a series of impressive natural rock formations that are worth your visit. A drive through the park is enjoyable, but if you have the time, park your car and see it and touch it to get a real sense for the beauty and magnitude of the formations. Lived in this area for 20+ years and... More

I mean....what's not to like, if you aren't an active person you don't even have to walk around to appreciate the beauty of this place, but my husband and I like to hike, so there are heaps of trails and climbs all over this place! Just Go!

This place is AMAZING. You can drive all through it and stop at various pullovers for photos. It is almost impossible to describe the sight. I kept feeling like we had stepped out of the car into a scene from an amazing planet in a Star Trek movie or something! This is a MUST SEE for anyone in the Denver... More

I guess I shouldn't give it a good review if I don't want people going there, but I really love Garden of the Gods. I've hiked it, photographed it, driven through many times, gone bouldering, and today tried my feet at trail running. I'd be here much more often if I didn't live so far away.

Wasn't able to see much because it had rained there many days before our arrival. However...what we did see was spectacular. Probably could have been better if we were able to hike some of the trails. Loved what we saw.

Very unique place. We had planned a Segway tour but were rained out. Still, the drive through was interesting.
