Colorado Springs - Day Trips and Photo Guide

Imagine towering sandstone rock formations against a backdrop of snow-capped Pikes Peak and brilliant blue skies. That’s the view from the beautiful Garden of the Gods Visitor & Nature Center Terrace. This free center is the gateway to Garden of the Gods City Park. The visitor's center has a great bookstore and gift shop. You can also have a bite to eat there.

What I remember most about the Garden of the Gods were the impressive rock formations. Beautiful red rocks are a photographer's dream. There are trails for hikers and accessible cement pathways. The park is free.
