Fantastic! Relaxing and incredible views and trails!! A must see for sure, if you have any doubts as to the majestic nature, dont second guess it and go here!! You can even rent an electric bike, Segway tour, Jeep tour or even horse rides! Go for it!!

I was actually surprised, because of Co-vid19, how crowded this place was the day before Thanksgiving. People were trying to stay out of my pics or not and one guy told me to move it when I was parked in the walking/bike lane that I saw as an awesome photo op. Look at all the people. And they were everywhere along the volcanic mountain called #GardenoftheGods. #GoLunar @UCCS

Really loved the scenery here and the parking is accommodating too.They close the gates at 10pm each night. Until then, its a good place to go star gazing and just peaceful overall.Drive slowly and carefully due to the friendly wildlife, please, to anyone whos reading.

Great spot to look down into be valley and back toward the formations. Not a lot of trail access here, but good for those wanting to stop after driving through.

No complaints. We had no issues with staff like some of the reviewers. They actually loaned us a tool for a minor repair. Site we had was fine, but did not love the location in park.

My absolute favorite place to go to just sit and breathe. Life can seem pretty heavy sometimes, and as much as we hate being alone.. we all need space. Even if its just for a moment... just to breathe. This is my let go spot

After snaking our way slowly around the monument (over the super smooth pavement I might add) we found a neat little pull off with maps of the area and a shade structure where the view was absolutely phenomenal ! There were accessible formations all around that were perfect for the kiddo to sharpen her climbing skills and test her parents wearwithall most definitely recommend a couple hours visit on a nice day to soak up the scenery

If you only have a short time to visit Garden of the Gods, this is a good spot to visit. Lots of parking spaces and rocks to lay out on. I wish we could have done more hiking, but the weather worked against us. Lots of nice formations can be seen from here.

A fantastic overlook in Garden of the Gods! Theres a nice, fairly short trail. Its a fairly easy walk. Its a great place to be when its raining as you can sit in your vehicle and enjoy the great views. We often bring breakfast there and eat it in our car. Definitely worth a try.

If you never been to Arizona, Nevada or Zion Natl park, I say go see it. At least its free. Driving would take less than a hour, but there are some spots youll want to stop and take photos. Scenic stops along the road was limited, but there are some good hiking trails. If time in the area is limited, I say take the drive to pikes peak, but youll need 4-5 hrs. We made many scenic stops going up and coming down.
