Journey
through
Time

The
Garden
of
the
Gods
Park,
Colorado
Springs,
Colorado
Review:
A
visit
to
Colorado
might
conjure
images
of
snow-capped
mountains
and
famous
ski
resorts,
but
the
state
has
much
more
to
offer,
one
of
which
is
the
mesmerizing
Garden
of
the
Gods
Park
in
Colorado
Springs.
The
sight
of
this
park,
with
its
distinctive
rock
formations,
feels
more
akin
to
a
landscape
you'd
find
in
Arizona
or
Utah,
showcasing
a
facet
of
Colorado
many
don’t
often
associate
with
the
state.
The
park
itself
is
beautifully
maintained,
and
for
those
planning
a
leisurely
walk
around
the
paved
trails,
it’s
an
absolute
delight.
However,
if
you
are
adventurous
and
wish
to
embark
on
a
longer
three
to
four-mile
hike,
be
prepared.
The
intensity
of
the
Colorado
sun
and
the
length
of
the
trails
can
make
the
hike
quite
draining.
Adequate
hydration,
sunscreen,
and
a
hat
are
essential.
The
paths
within
the
park
are
well-paved,
which
can
give
the
impression
of
an
easy
stroll,
but
don't
be
fooled.
The
longer
hikes
can
be
challenging,
particularly
for
those
not
used
to
high
altitude
or
arid
conditions.
However,
these
trails
offer
a
unique
opportunity
to
experience
the
magnificent
geological
structures
that
took
millions
of
years
to
form,
up
close.
If
you
can
handle
the
hike,
it
is
absolutely
worth
the
effort.
But
if
hiking
isn’t
your
thing,
don’t
worry.
The
park
has
an
incredibly
well-planned
scenic
drive
that
allows
you
to
take
in
the
stunning
landscape
from
the
comfort
of
your
vehicle.
In
essence,
Garden
of
the
Gods
is
a
versatile
and
unique
destination
that
offers
a
fascinating
glimpse
into
Colorado's
geological
past.
It’s
a
good
hour
and
a
half
drive
from
Denver
Airport,
and
although
I
wouldn't
make
this
trip
every
time
I
visit
Denver,
it’s
absolutely
worth
the
journey
for
those
visiting
Denver
for
the
first
time,
or
for
those
who
haven’t
yet
explored
the
southern
side
of
the
city.
In
conclusion,
the
Garden
of
the
Gods
park
is
a
treasure
trove
of
natural
beauty,
a
must-visit
for
any
tourist
in
Colorado.
Just
remember
to
plan
and
prepare
accordingly,
especially
if
you
intend
to
hike.
I
hope
you
find
this
review
helpful
for
your
upcoming
visit
to
Colorado,
and
thank
you
for
