Visitors discouraged by high prices of many local attractions will enjoy visiting this park. Natural sandstone formations are beautiful and dramatic, especially at sunrise/sunset. There are abundant walking trails, and this beats slowly driving through the entire park, if you have the time. Please note that rock climbing requires a permit-- even for "bouldering"-- and your rescue from any precipice... more

A must see in the Colorado Springs area. We checked in at the visitors center and were told there was a tour leaving in 10 minutes. We hurried over the park and were treated to a tour with a guide who knew everything and more about the park. It was fantastic. Definitely would recommend the free tour. more

I'd just say it was pretty... more

You can enjoy the park by car, by bike, on foot and even by horseback. It's always better in person than by photo. It's... more

I used to think the Garden of the Gods was well named but I revised last year to discover that they have allowed home building in and around the formations. I can't imagine what those lots must have cost. Ron more
