What an incredibly gorgeous place!!! Although we enjoyed some of the places we wnet in Colorad Springs, no-one in my family was impressed with the city and we decided to leave for other pklaces earlier than we'd planned. However, the one place we all wanted to revisit (and did) was this great park. The frst tme we visted was at sunset after a rainstorm ad we only had enough time to drive through . The lighting was great as were all the wonderful red rock formations. The next day we went back so we could send more time and walked around Balanced Rock as well as taking the time to view the film and the visitor's center which is very informative. The last time we went was midday and the place was still fantastic.
We hiked around, taking our time to watch a father teach his young son technical climbing (with equipment) on one of the formations. We were also able to watch birds-some with nests up on the high ledges- flying in and around. The parking places are large so there was plenty of parking anywhere we stopped and the paths are well maintained with garbage cans along the way. This place was someplace that you could spend a day exploring or simply visit for a few hours. Even a drive trough is worth it but you that may lead to your wanting to get out and see more. Also, make sure you visit the Garden of the Gods Trading Post wich hasbeen voted one of the best gift shops and it is. They have the usual trinkets but also LOTS of nice stuff from pottery to clothes to art work to rugs and jewelry.
