Garden of the Gods Visitor & Nature Center

Visitor center

👍 Be aware state parks want your money. I suggest downloading the TravelStorys App and take the guided tour for free. Don’t pay for a tour. This park is very small and only takes about 30 minutes to drive the scenic road. Also the entrance is free. It is however a must stop if your in the Denver area....

St. Peters Dome

Hiking area

👍👍 One of our favorite hikes while in Colorado. The views are breathtaking.. or maybe that was the altitude. It can be a little misleading on where it ends but you can actually climb all the way to the top!
