Note: This 6.5-mile-long tour covers the essentials of Garden of the Gods in 1-2 hours.
• Kissing Camels Golf Course - The first thing to know is that the two camels aren’t actually two separate rocks. At one time, they looked no different than the rest of this rock face. However, there was a small crack within one layer of the sandstone, so small it was practically invisible.
• Garden of the Gods - Garden of the Gods is a popular tourist attraction in Colorado Springs, Colorado, renowned for its stunning red rock formations resembling ancient castles and spires.

• Balanced Rock - It’s impossible to miss Balanced Rock from here. This massive formation appears to balance impossibly on a red sandstone platform. So how does it do it? Despite the name and appearance, this rock is actually not balancing. It’s all part of one formation!
• Giant Footprints - The Giant Footprints looks like another rock formation, but something’s a little off-kilter. Literally! Ordinarily, the strata of rock are horizontal, like a lasagna. But here, they’re diagonal, pointing at a 45-degree angle. It’s like a giant stepped on a loose floorboard.
• South Gateway Rock - South Gateway Rock, which we passed earlier. Notice all the little pockmarks in the face of it? Those actually point to one of the more challenging features of climbing this kind of sandstone.
