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....

Challenge Hill and Trails at Philip S. Miller Park

Park

👍👍 Awesome stairs to get that heart rate up, with a pretty easy trail down. This route seemed recommended by the sign. I had to stop several times to make it to the top of the 200 steps! Very fun though!

4.90 (259 reviews) (~42.29 km from centre)

Chautauqua Trail Overlook

Park

👍 Many trails, easy to moderate, to choose from, at least 3 parking lots, each has bathrooms. Nice place for all ages. Certain trails don’t have any shade at all, so bring your hat and sunscreen when hiking on a sunny day!

4.90 (243 reviews) (~38.49 km from centre)

Central Gardens at Garden of the Gods

Park

👍 Tons of amazing rock formations with a pretty backdrop and next to other important historical places. Parking is in the shade which keeps cars cool. The only downside when I went is that there were numerous people with heavy marijuana scents that diminished some of the enjoyment of being there.

Kruger Rock Trail

Park

👍👍 This was such a beautiful hike with amazing views throughout. With rain starting about 3/4 of the way up, and our daughter and I being beginner hikers, it took us about 3 hours from start to finish. There is a main parking lot with a bathroom and then an overflow parking lot right across that had wh...

Panorama Park

Park

👍👍 Seven years ago when I lived nearby, I used to push my baby in the stroller and walk with my two toddlers to this park and it was tiny simple play equipment with a gorgeous view. When I pulled up today, I couldn’t believe my eyes. It’s absolutely stunning, modern, sustainable, and so much green area...

Trail Ridge Road Summit

Park

👍👍 Trail Ridge Drive is definitely worth the drive. I got to experience the grandness of the nature. And cool to see animals along the way. We didn't make the whole loop to the grand lake, stopped at the Continental Divide and returned to the Estes Park Entrance. The photos just don't justify for t...
