🇺🇸 Garden of the Gods Day Trip — 300 Million Years of Rock Formation

Located in Colorado Springs 🏞️, just search “Garden of the Gods” on your map. The park is open year-round and totally FREE! Many friends recommended it, and it did not disappoint — definitely worth the visit! 🚗 Transportation Tips: We drove from Denver 🚙💨 and arrived around 9 AM. The scenic route was beautiful! Come early to avoid crowds and secure parking. Spots inside the park are limited — sometimes you may need to park outside. 🅿️ Recommend Parking Lot — it’s right in the heart of the park! 📌 Route & Must-See Spots: 👉 Start at the Visitor & Nature Center (grab a map 🗺️ and use the restroom!) 👉 Perkins Central Garden Trail (easy & family-friendly walk 👨‍👩‍👧) 👉 Kissing Camels (rocks that look like two camels kissing 💋🐪) 👉 Balanced Rock (iconic photo spot — find the perfect angle! 📸) 🚶‍♀️ Trail Difficulty: Most paths are flat and easy — perfect for kids, families, or a relaxed photo walk! 👟 💡 Tips: Bring water and sunscreen! The UV is intense here! ☀️🧴 Limited shade — hat and sunglasses are a must! 🧢😎 For more adventure, try horseback riding 🐎, rock climbing, or a Segway tour!
