Directions:

• Various trails through the park.

We woke up early to return to Garden of the Gods to hike more trails. We had sunny skies in the morning. There is not a lot of elevation gain on the trails, but there are a bunch of steps on the non-paved trails. Around 11 am it started thundering, so I'm glad we started our hiking early. At that point, again we hiked immediately back to our car. In general, I think 2 full days is a good amount of time to explore this park. Next stop, Rock Ledge Ranch on the east side of the park.
