Spectacular!! Very cool rock formations. A number of great hiking trails. Don't let the crowds scare you away. It's certainly worth it. Great views of Pikes Peak. Would do it again in a heartbeat. Very nice visitors center.

We got to the lower parking lot at dawn and took some lovely shots of the sunrise lighting up the peaks and rock formations. Then we hiked up to the top and had good looks at a coyote and mule deer with young on the way. We spent the rest of the time wandering the trails that wind all through the rock formations, and had clear views of Pike's Peak from some places. We saw falcons, swifts, rock doves, and more birds perched up high. Strongly suggest bringing binoculars. Overall, it was a beautiful place to visit. And it's free to just walk around.

This is an amazing place and very popular with tourists so expect crowds. The visitor's center movie is a good introduction and the guided ranger tour helps in understanding what to expect. The "Leave No Trace" policy was discussed, but if it makes an impression I could not tell because within a space of 5 minutes I saw people picnicking off the path, people carrying natural vegetation they had plucked, and a person picking up a stone he was planning to bring home as a memento. Also, climbing is allowed and there were many people scaling the monuments. Given that these are sandstone it made me wonder how much damage is done by allowing it. The park is free to visit, but the movie and ranger tour are not.

Absolutely beautiful, can’t overestimate this place! We walked for a few hours in the early evening while it was a bit cooler and the formations and shadows were dramatic. Quite a lot of people, which is understandable. Hopefully I can visit here again. Easily accessible, clean bathrooms avaliable:)

I thank the past generations for making sure that the entrance and to get close to these mountains are for free . I am very appreciative that I didn’t mind paying full price on the things I bought. You will be asked by the cashier if you want to donate a dollar for the park, and I’ve never heard a no from the customers. There’s going to be a long line of cars which are trying to get to the park, so please be patient. Ahhmazing rock formations to see and touch for free. Why not.

This is an absolutely beautiful place! The red rocks against the blue sky, and green trees was gorgeous! The park is extremely well maintained and the walking paths in great shape. We decided to visit twice just to enjoy the beauty and peacefulness of this area again! The visitors center and the outpost are a must to see as well. Lots of history and again, absolutely beautiful!!

Towering rocks rising high into the sky! This attraction is one that you should not miss if you are visiting Colorado Springs, CO. Get there early so that you can see the rock formations illuminated by the sun. It might also help you to avoid crowds. The walk through the park is easy and is a visual delight!

We could spend hours here and find new things. Easy-moderate hike. Wear comfortable hiking boots and pack a lunch to enjoy here with a great view. There was a lot of people visiting but it never felt crowded. It's free! Must go!

Beautiful to see up close and in person. We were a part of a Jeep tour that allowed us to see all sides of the formation and see its truly spectacular presence. A must see if you are in the area and surrounded by many trails for hiking, a picnic area and visitors center with souvenirs and snacks.

Excellent free attraction to stop off at in Colorado Springs. I took advantage of a break on a drive from Denver to Pueblo and walked around the red rock formations for about 45 minutes before continuing on. There's bathrooms and clean, well maintained walking paths. Ample parking on a Monday at around 1pm.
