众神的花园

看了别人的点评，有些朋友去的时候人好多。我去的时候还好，有发现两三个的攀岩者。并不是特别多的人。散散的会有一些游客。第一次看到红岩，也第一次知道中文是众神花园，我还以为是‘天堂花园’呢！！呵呵。还不错，里面大所以不觉得喧闹。停车位不是特别多，所以要看运气。

1972年当我还10岁的时候我来过这里,再次来这里参观很震撼;景色非常漂亮,而且免费,要感谢这座城市好心的慈善家。在小道上散步,停下来欣赏野生动物,包括蓝鸟,甚至还能在众多的板凳上休息一阵。这里优美的自然美景会一直留存在你的记忆里。我玩得非常愉快,拍了很多照片,包括轻吻骆驼:)

参观众神花园我很激动。一到那儿,我就被为那边的红岩震撼到了,然后再向左看,满眼都是延伸的绳索。我不知道这些绳子是干什么用的,知道走近了才发现有很多登山运动员在攀岩。那一刻我难过的快哭了。不要误解,我并不是反对登山运动员的行为,只是我认为这儿真不适合这项运动。岩石的表面布满了针状物或诸如此类的适应山体的东西。上体表面的小洞毫无疑问是经过登山者常年攀登而造成的。很难拍到一张照片上面没有拍到每个人的臀部。然而公园居然允许这种行为,这令我感到十分的悲哀。每个岩石下面都有很多的登山团队或者训练团队在等其他的攀岩者下来。这绝对不是我期望看到的情景。对于这次旅行我感到特别的失望。网站甚至不会给你评价的机会。这里绝对不是适合去欣赏景色的地方,但是如果你热衷于攀岩登山之类的运动的话,这里绝对是你的天堂。然而我们这些想去那儿欣赏景色的游客都感到很失望。但是你在网站上绝对不会发现有任何攀岩者的臀部出现的照片。

这个公园为游客考虑得很周到。散步和徒步的路难度不会太高,不会吓着那些不是户外运动爱好者的人。甚至其中有一条路是残疾人也可以走的。Garden of the Gods花园本身的景色很美,从花园里看到金边的其他地方,也超级美。

正所谓无心插柳柳成荫,我碰巧到了这里,在游客中心看了他们的展览,小电影讲的是“红岩石是从哪里来的”,了解了很多东西。如果你饿了的话,可以喝咖啡,或者喝热巧克力驱驱寒气,或者开车直接到游客中心的咖啡馆。天气好的时候,他们会在室外摆放座椅的,从平台可以看见部分花园,景色非常棒,继续开车前进的话,你会看见些白色的岩石和其他景观,然后会到一个路口,向左或是向右,推荐向左,这样你可以看见全部的景区,然后绕回到游客中心(开车很快的),然后你会再到这个地方,再向右转吧。这个地方挺不错的,值得开车转一转,如果你像我说的一样开的话,会到叫做Old Colorado City的小镇和Manitou Springs的小镇,都不错,都值得停车转转的。从这里你还能到Pike's的最高峰。

东边最美的地方之一,况且还是免费的。穿过整个公园只要30分钟,但你一定愿意停下来好好地到处看看。

Beautiful hiking trails and photo moments abound. Nice little stop on the way to Colorado Springs. The park has modern, clean toilets at the parking lot entrance.

We visited on a Thursday afternoon with our 5 year old. The views are spectacular. Lots of variety of trails to hike. You can climb on most rock formations, which was a lot of fun. Scary at times for mom! Could have spent an entire day exploring. I'd bring a sack luck, there are plenty of benches scattered around. The only weird thing was the parking area 9 where you view pikes peak. It turned into a high school hangout with music blasting from cars and lots of smoking. Very odd. Other than that, a must see!

It is so amazing. You really have no excuse to not go here because it is free! There are so many different trails that you can pick and is amazing for families. What makes this place even better is once you are done having your fill on hiking there are plenty of near by places to eat.

First visit today. Great weather. Beautiful scenery. Parking was in various locations but spaces were all taken. Advice: arrive early and park in one location, then walk everywhere you want to go. No toilets, so plan accordingly. If you are a rock climber, you can bring ropes and gear, but you will need a permit to actually climb. The total area is not so large, and it's possible to walk around the whole place in a few hours. Paved or packed earth trails everywhere make it easy to traverse. No need for hiking boots or anything like that. No elevation changes to speak of (gentle sloping hills). Was fun for a couple of hours in the mid-afternoon while on break during a conference in Colorado Springs.

While I was in CO Springs for business, I came here a couple times to get out of the hotel and shoot some photos. They have plenty of walking/hiking trails with one paved for easy walking and handicap. There are plenty of parking lots and pull-offs to check out the sites. The wildlife is sparse but you can see plenty of birds and bunnies. Overall, it is a cool place to get beautiful photos of red-rock formations and stretch your legs. Check out the visitors center for a free map, gift shop and educational center.

This is one place you must visit when in the area. The area has side walks so it is appropriate for any age.

In summer, you mainly see the color red of the rocks, but winter brings a little white which makes the place look more like heaven.We went there on a snowy day (not too snowy though) that not many people came. We spotted some deers and another wild animal (we couldn't see it clearly cuz it was fast). It was very nice!

'We enjoyed the beautiful scenic views and wonderful photo opportunities. Our youngest of 6 kids is only 3 but there was still plenty for us to get around in the trails they had to offer. Must stop at the visitor center to take some gorgeous pics. Make some time to visit the cogs railway that takes you up to Pikes Peak. Make sure to plan your day for Garden of the Gods and Cog Railway since you'll be in the area might as well see both of them.

One of the most breathtaking places I have ever been! There are many beautiful paths and trails here, as well as a visitors center where you can get a meal and visit the gift shop. It is the perfect destination for runners, cyclists, and horseback riding! We went horseback riding with a group and it was fantastic! You won't be disappointed by stopping here, my only regret is I would've spent 2 days exploring instead of one! Next time I visit i'll be sure to rent or bring my bike! A beautiful piece of Colorado!
