Colorado Springs - Garden of the Gods

The Garden of the Gods is a park with an abundance of plant and animal life. The Visitor Center is located just outside of the park in Colorado Springs, with park tours and a museum about the area.

The highlight of the Garden of the Gods are the red sandstone rock formations that are as much as 300 million years old.

The Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site is right outside the entrance to Garden of the Gods Park, across the street from the visitor center. There are tours and exhibits describing the life of settlers in the Galloway homestead period of the 1860's, the Chambers farm era of the 1880's and the 1907 Palmer estate.
