Side Trip for National Rally
If you are planning on traveling thru Colorado Springs on I-25 either coming or going to the National Rally in Estes Park, I would suggest you take a quick trip thru the Garden of the Gods. It is just a few miles off I-25 and well worth seeing.

I agree completely. I visited there many times during my three years living in Colorado Springs. If you have the time a trip up Pikes Peak can be something you will never forget.

Went through it when I was there on my only trip to Colorado Springs. Very neat place to see.

Sometimes when I have business on the west side of town or in Manitou Springs, I'll drive through the Garden of the Gods and just savor it. Even though it might take a bit longer, I love it! And the price to see it is right!

I always enjoyed Garden of the Gods and also waking the streets of Manitou Springs.

Waking or walking? I used to wake the neighbors with my Nomad. (They just didn't have a sense of humor at midnight. ) (BTW, it doesn't matter what your answer is, I'm going to poke fun at ya either way. :) )
