Garden of the Gods

Garden of the Gods is a park with lots of towering red rock formations in sandstone in 1,360 acres. Take exit 146 from the I-25 and drive west for 2.5 miles then turn left at 30th street for a mile.

Start at the Visitor Center which is the most visited attraction in this area, and once inside it will become obvious why this is so.

A 14 minute HD show explains how these 300 feet high rocks got here; there are several hands-on displays, mineral display cases, 3 touch screen talking rocks detailing the areas history and a topographical map of the park showing locations in the park for all of the activities.

There are life size replicas of buffalos and sheep, and it is here where free maps of the park are available, guiding you to the mountain bike trails, hikes, and well maintained nature trails, all with markers explaining all that is around you.

Free guided walks are offered, and in summer months a narrated bus tour is offered for a small charge.

A café offers refreshments and stunning views from the glassed-in terrace of the rocks and Pikes Peak, a great place to take photographs.

The Garden of the Gods Park is registered as a National Natural Landmark, and admission is free.
