Before you go

Use the live details that matter

  • Do not pair Pikes Peak, Seven Falls, and Garden of the Gods into one day. The map makes that mistake look possible.
  • Use downtown for arrival and rain backups, then give the big landscapes clear-weather windows.

Confirm current access, hours, reservations, and conditions with Official Garden of the Gods Park information.
