This is the classic hike to see Garden of the Gods. It offers a relatively flat, mostly prepared surface suitable for families. The hike includes stops at the well-known park entrance sign (great for group photos) and goes straight to the heart of the Garden where you see some of the most iconic rock formations. Your guide will share some of the park history, geology and information on the flora and fauna. You finish back at the Visitors Center where you can explore their displays and garb a snack.

A beautiful stunning place. Easy to walk around on the paved walkways. We were there in February with snow on the ground and we enjoyed seeing the formations up close. The balanced rock make great photos.
