Scott and I like to go there most especially during spring and summer time. In fact, we just went there last Sunday. We did some hiking and also picnicking. It is really a beautiful place to visit with. The rock formations are all awesome! A lot of breathtaking sceneries there. No wonder why a lot of people want to go and visit "Garden of the Gods". A lot of tourists like naturalist, photographers, hikers, rock climbers and etc. It’s pretty and you will really enjoy the place. We are still planning to go back there for more sight seeing and also do some barbeque in the picnic area. I’m sure it will be more fun and a good experience to share with others. Isn’t that nice to enjoy the magnificent sceneries of nature with your love one, as being together? I just love nature. Garden of the Gods is a place to be value with and taken care of because of it’s own ‘beauty’.
