This trail is great for all fitness levels and mobility. Handicap and stroller friendly with paved pathways, this loop takes you around Garden of the God’s most famous red rock formations.
For easy access to this loop, park at the main lot to the left as you enter the park. It’s one way traffic so plan on a 30 minute or more drive out of the park once you’ve explore the Garden trails.
Make a quick visit to the well stocked and cleaned bathrooms before heading out on the concrete wide path. As you start, look up to see Kissing Camels, one of the Garden’s most iconic natural sculpture rock formations.
Take the loop either way - the views look amazing no matter the angle. And the brilliance of a loop hike is you’ll end up at your car one way or another.
Keep walking the paved path to see the Tower of Babel, a rock that is the height of a football field end to end. Keep going to see Cathedral Spires aka “Temple of Montezuma” and North Gateway Rock. Each of these rocks are well marked on your paper map and great signage in the park.
The Inner loop trail is all paved, stroller and ADA friendly.
There are several stories behind the names of the rocks as well as the Garden as a whole. The Ute Native American Indians called this area the doorway to the red earth mountains.
In late fall each year, their families came down out of the mountains, gathered at the Garden of the Gods and camped there during the winter.
As you walk the loop, the brilliant Colorado blue sky is a stark backdrop for these red rock formations. Think about the hundreds of years of joy and delight spent in this red stone paradise.
Scotsman Trail

A bit less traveled than the Central Gardens Trail, hiking Garden of the Gods trails like this one gives you stunning views of Pikes Peak Mountain. It is not paved (expect sand) and is often used for the Garden of the Gods horseback riders. However, the trail is well marked and worth a little mud and dirt on your shoes!
To catch Scotsman Trail, head past the main parking lot on Garden Drive. Look out for signs for parking on the left before reaching the Siamese Twins Trail. Hiking Garden of the Gods is easy in this area with well marked trail signs.
NOTE! There can be a fair amount of horse manure on the trail depending on the time of day you hike.

Under one mile, this loop takes you to the most fascinating rock formations in the garden. Think Mars colliding with earth.
The Siamese Twin rock formations are large enough for kids and adults to climb on, sneaking views of Pikes Peak no matter which area you settle. A fun keyhole makes for the best photos, giving you the memory making phoo with its cut out for Pikes Peak to shine through.

Colorado Springs Hikes Local Insider Tips and Tricks
Hiking Garden of the Gods is fairly simple and easy depending on which trail you choose. To make it the best experience for you, consider these tips.
Be prepared
Garden of the Gods sits at 6,400 feet above sea level. Those 1,951 meters can do a doozy on the sea level visitor. Altitude sickness can make the best visit a bummed out experience.
Drink water and lots of it.
Add an electrolyte supplement for added energy as well as headache remover. We love NUUN tablets as well as Gatorade.
Bring layers. Colorado Springs is notorious for having all four seasons in an hour. The Colorado native will tell you, “Don’t like the weather? Wait 5 minutes and it will change.”
CoHH Tip! Hands down, Patagonia’s Nano Puff Jacket is the layer we wear the most. This multi season, multi use jacket will become your favorite, and perhaps only, hiking jacket.
Bring a daypack. You’ll want something to hold layers, a few snacks and water. Not sure what type of backpack you need, check out our review of hardworking daypacks.
Wear sunscreen. You are much closer to the sun. While you might not feel hot, you’ll be surprised with just how that sun can turn your beautiful skin into lobster red!
Sturdy hiking or athletic shoes work best for the trails. While many of the trails are paved, once you’re on the outer trail loops, expect loose dirt, rock and scree. We’ve taken the guesswork out of which hiking boots, shoes or trail runners to wear.
Take the guesswork out of what to wear visiting and hiking Colorado Springs. We’re rather simple but practical folk, layering up because the weather is as fickle as our craft beer taste buds.

Keep off the rocks
This diverse landscape is a nationally registered landmark. Staying off the rocks keeps them beautiful for many more generations while also saving you some money.
Yep! If you want to climb in the Garden, you need a permit. Caught climbing without one and you are out $500.
Please don’t take a piece of the park with you. The Garden of the Gods Visitor Center has all kinds of fun park centric momentos to buy. Or better yet, take some photos with your phone.
INSIDER TIP! We often tell our kids to take a photo with their mind and to touch with their eyes (not their hands!).
Stop for 30 seconds, look at the beauty and think about all the colors your mind is soaking in. These mind photographs are some of the best free memories you could have!
Stay on the trails
If all of Colorado Springs visitors thought they could hike off trail, Garden of the Gods would no longer resemble the beautiful attraction it is.
Heading off trail damages plant life as well as encouraging others to do the same. As moms, we love showing our kids how to care for the geological treasures in our state.
As with any hike, maintaining trail etiquette is not only important for the environment but also allows everyone to have those amazing photo memories for years to come.
Dispose of all Trash
Garbage can become a big problem. There are animals in this park. Throwing away your apple core in the bushes can create a whole host of issues.
RJ the racoon might not live in the Garden of the Gods but as you know from Dreamwork’s Over the Hedge, human trash can create animal dependence on humans for food.
There are trash cans all over the park. If you’re on a trail that does not have one, pack it out. (We bring ziplock bags to pack out our trash. They seal up as well as hold a lot!)
Paved walking paths are adjacent to the main parking lots, making Garden of the Gods hiking accessible for everyone.
parking
Ah, this can be tricky especially in the height of summer tourist hours. Recently the Garden of the Gods added a shuttle for their busy summer hours. Times vary so check their site before heading out.
INSIDER TIP! Typically the best places to park are at Rock Ledge Ranch, right before entering the park. You’ll have to walk a bit but many of the trails connect to this spacious lot.
The Main Parking lot is just off Juniper Way Loop. From 30th street, turn west (toward Pike’s Peak) onto Gateway Way. At the junction turn right onto Juniper Way Loop. The lot will be on your left.
The Garden of the Gods Visitor Center also has many parking spots. Bonus? You can add a bit of mileage to your hike from their lot.
The park has 336 parking spots. Visit early to ensure you get one of them!
Time of Day to Visit
If you are visiting Garden of the Gods from out of town, you probably won’t see too many locals during prime touring hours.
Sure, the fearless will be out climbing up those great slabs of red rock but the garden regular knows the best time to head out is NOT midday.
Note! Rock climbing is allowed only by permit, and the Visitor Center has options for every skill level. But climbing without a permit in Garden of the Gods is a $500 fine.
Check the Visitor Center well in advance of your trip if you want to book one of their climbing or rappelling experiences.
INSIDER TIP! Head to the park early in the morning or late at night to avoid crowds and get parking.
The Garden of the Gods has some of the most spectacular sunrises and sunsets in our state. In the morning, grab your Yeti of coffee and get out before 5:30 am for an amazing summer sunrise.
Want to stir up some romance? Get to the park around 4:30 pm (winter) or around 7:30 pm (summer) with your can of wine and partner to watch a breathtaking Colorado sunset.
Be parked and backpack on by 7:30 am for the least amount of trekkers on the trail as well as ample parking. Plus you’ll probably run into a few friendly locals out walking their dogs.

Bathroom facilities located at the main parking lot at the Garden of the Gods in Colorado
Bathroom Facilities
Face it. Everyone at some point has to use the facilities. Remember, this is a public park.
Not only could you be served with a fine for indecent exposure, human waste is becoming a major issue on trails.
You can access bathrooms with toilets and running water at the Garden of the Gods Visitor Center, the Trading Post, as well as Rock Ledge Ranch and the main parking lot off Juniper Way Loop.
Pets on the Trails
Can I take Fido with me? Yes, dogs are allowed as long as they are on their leashes. Coloradans are notorious for keeping their dogs off leash.
I’m sure you’ve run into those “he’s friendly” situations only to have your new hiking pants covered in dirty paw prints.
The park takes this rule seriously and you will be fined if caught.
There is one designated area where dogs can run unleashed; south of Gateway Road, West of 30th Street, and east of Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site.
Please pick up your dog’s poop and dispose of it in the appropriate place. No one wants to hike a trail and come upon a nice neatly tied bag of dog poop on the trail. Carry it out and throw it away!
INSIDER TIP! Keep in mind that horses are allowed on many of the trails in the park. If your pet is skittish with large animals, or you prefer a 50 foot leash, this is not the park for your furry friend.
