I recently had the pleasure of visiting Garden of the Gods, Colorado. The park has a fantastic expansive trail that weaves around such a majestic scenery. The mountains and rock formations just tower above you. The trail was easily navigable, though extremely long. When going in warmer weather it is preferred to have two water bottles per person, if you are making the trek, this is not only due to the lack of humidity, but also due to altitude difference. For the avid adventurer there are many areas for rock climbing, steep trails, and rugged bike paths. Geological formations like fossils, alluvial fans, and brightly colored sedimentary rock beds litter the park and are denoted with markers. The park is truly a sight to behold, you can feel absolutely dwarfed in the landscape. Check their calendar for events and their visitor center web page for any tail closures or climbing restrictions (there is usually none) before you travel.
