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....

Devil's Playground

Hiking area

👍👍 What a great experience to drive up Pikes Peak. Unfortunately the last part of the road was closed due to ice on the road, bad luck. However, it was great to get as far as I got.

Royal Arch

👍👍 WE SWEAT ON THIS ONE. Shoooooweeee. Beautiful views from the top and pet friendly but i would say leave your small less athletic pups at home. This is a toughie. I would say this hike is moderate for the most part, some of the rockier parts are more strenuous. About 7000 ft elevation.
