Barely six hours away from Albuquerque is one of the premiere scenic spots in the Southwest - it’s called “Garden of the Gods” in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Whether you are a photographer, rock climber, hiker, nature enthusiast, or casual visitor, this place has something for everyone. Imagine dramatic views, 300’ towering sandstone rock formations against a backdrop of Pikes Peak and brilliant blue skies. It truly is magical.
