The Garden of the Gods Immersion Hike offers a deeper look at the park’s unique landscapes.
It begins at the iconic entrance sign—perfect for group photos—before heading into the heart of the Garden, where some of the most famous rock formations stand. While parts of the trail are flat and paved, quieter dirt paths lead to hidden features that many visitors miss.
Stunning views and striking red rock formations make this hike unforgettable. Along the way, a guide shares insights on the park’s history, geology, and wildlife.
The journey ends at the Visitors Center, a great spot to explore exhibits and grab 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.
