Gardens of the Gods is truly heaven on earth. Located smack dab in the middle of Colorado Springs, it is a breathtaking monument to mother nature's beauty and one man's generosity. Donated to the city by the children of Charles Elliott Perkins, the 480-acres of land has been a public park since 1909. And, surprisingly, admission is free! Visitors can walk, hike, ride mountainbikes or horses and rock climb (climbers must register beforehand) amongst the park's spectacular red rock formations. If you are only driving through the area, it's worth stopping and stretching your legs. You will be enlightened and inspired by its beauty.
