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.

This attraction was great and free. If you love nature and the beautiful red rocks, this is the place to see. You can drive or walk the trails, which ever one you decide it is be a wonderful view.

It was our first visit to Colordo Springs, and we visted the Garden of the Gods. The beautiful rock formations that you can see from a distance should not be missed. During our walk we were in awe the entire time. If you go to Colorado Springs, do not miss this!

This is a really nice place to take pictures, both of the landscapes or people with a nice background, but after once or twice it's somewhat boring. The trails are nice and well maintained. I haven't been during the summer yet.
