Garden of the Gods

Garden of the Gods: the name says it all.

Located near Colorado Springs, the national landmark boasts a stunning landscape of jagged stone towers and fins jutting 300 feet from the ground. There you can see the fins, giant balanced boulders, and rock piles.

You can get up on the dramatic rock formations and wander through the surreal scenery. There are fifteen miles of walking trails, most of which are short and easy for you to explore. The park is popular for rock climbing. Other popular activities include road biking, mountain biking, and horseback riding.

The Garden of the Gods Park Visitor Center functions as a museum. Visitors can immerse themselves in unique exhibits and a 20-minute video on the geology of the park. The museum also offers guided nature walks.
