Colorado Springs has so much beauty! Garden of the Gods is definitely abounding in it. If you have yet to go- STOP and go schedule it on your calendar!
I recommend stopping by the Visitor and Nature Center to grab a map if its your first time. It can get confusing if you don’t know where you are going! The Visitor Center also hosts in the park at a first come first serve basis. Bring a lunch or try this great granola bar recipe in case you get hungry on your hike. Other things you can do at the Garden of the Gods:
- Horseback Riding
- Rock Climbing (be sure to read the regulations)
- Biking
- Bird Watching – look for these birds!
- Lunch at the Balanced Rock Cafe
- Take the tour in your car
- Become a Junior Ranger
- Running (they have 2 races a year)
