Reviews
"Garden of the gods a nice place to spend time exploring the nature and rock formations. Family friendly park to explore and enjoy. Going around the loop is the easy way to navigate. A variety of restaurants located five minute drive from the park."
"Easily accessible from parking lot 2. It was easily noticeable though. We went on labor day. Parking was close to full. Lot of folks in this place."
"Easily recognizable feature. Super visible up close from the paved path below to the east, but I found myself pointing it out to the kids even from the west side hiking along the Palmer Trail."
"Great spot, gets cooler as you get closer to the center. I was fortunate enough to have breeze blowin through and temperature of 70s."
"This is the rock formations at the top of the main rock as you go to the right. Just look up and you see two rocks touching each other forming a heart shape space. This is a true looking up to God creation. Try to come late in the afternoon around sunset."
