Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs is an awe-inspiring collection of red rock formations created millions of years ago by transformative geological phenomena. The tall spires of red stone shoot up as if springing forth from the Earth to create a piece of natural artwork spanning more than 1,000 acres of land. Garden of the Gods is enhanced by the backdrop of Pikes Peak, which towers on one side of the formations to create a truly breathtaking scene. This national natural landmark has a visitors’ center with information about the site, as well as Jeep tours and opportunities to climb the rocks. Garden of the Gods is 1 hour 20 min from Denver.
