Balanced Rock Cafe - Manitou Springs

Just epic! Was recommended by an employee and it was just a 5 minute drive from my hotel. So many attempts to explore. Since most lots were small and quickly fill up. So glad I left!

Must see. Fantastic red rock cliffs and Vistas. The Trolley Tour in a Jeep. Large tour guide (Rocky). Very interesting information about the highlights. Didn't make it to the museum at the Visitos Centre. Visited the gift shops.

I visit the garden of the gods every time I'm on Colorado Springs. The landscape here is amazing and there are so many photo possibilities. The trails are plentiful and as long or as short as you want to make them. The gift shop is great and there are many souvenirs and snacks.

However, drive, stop and go around if you want to do them tours that you can pay. There will be masses. Do a little research before you know what rocks to look for. Like the kissing camels

This place really was very well thought out. The planning that went into creating a paved trail so that people of all levels of hiking could enjoy is incredible. Every age level can enjoy it and be surrounded by the beautiful and majestic red rock giants. The park also had unpaved trails and areas for professional rock climbing. The park is dog friendly, but you must keep your dog on a leash. I recommend this park for everyone!!
