Garden of the Gods Park is a unique biological melting pot where the grasslands of the Great Plains meet the pinon-juniper woodlands
characteristic of the American Southwest and merge with the mountain forest of the 14,115-foot Pikes Peak aka "America The Beautiful" Mountain.
The park's famous red rocks were formed millions of years ago due to upheavals in the earth’s surface and erosion. The rocks are conglomerates of red, pink, and white sandstones and limestone.
