Garden of the Gods Details
Considered to be one of the most spectacular parks in Colorado, this magnificent landscape bizarrely shaped rock formations are fascinating to see. Years of wind erosion and glacial melting have caused these toppled peaks and balanced spires to take on their strange yet iconic shapes, which provides the perfect backdrop for hikers, mountain bikers, and even rock climbers. A tour of the park is recommended to see the different geological features. Steamboat Rock, the Sentinel Spires, and the Three Graces are a couple of formations that have become world renown for their unique shape and size.
