The man on the left has scaled this Mass of rock structure as the birds watch him in the right in the Garden of the Gods, Denver CO, USA.
Situated right next to Colorado Springs off of US Highway 24 lies a small park aptly named Garden of the Gods. The acreage of the park is rather modest, like Red Rocks, but the sandstone formations are quite striking and memorable. Several massive rocks are decorated with jagged profiles with colors ranging from white, mild orange and rich reds. Spires of up to two pitch height are scattered behind these larger rocks. The park is highly developed and has cement trails in places. Climbing is almost exclusively trad, though there are many routes with drilled angles that don't require gear other than draws. Rock quality varies from formation to formation and can be very crumbly. For Front Range denizens who want to get used to soft desert sandstone, this is a great place to experience it. Get used to an audience, as the crowded park has hundreds of visitors on weekends.

5/5 Excellent

"Had an unexpected layover since airline delays caused me to miss my connecting flight and the only way home was to catch the next flight, which was the next morning. I had already stayed here when I had a 20 hour period before my connecting flight on my initial travel. Beds comfortable, clean sheets and glass shower instead of the regular shower curtain. Free shuttle from airport to hotel and then back to the airport. Overall good stay and I would stay there again. "
