This is the main entrance, though there is a trail (Old Colorado City trail) close to our house that will connect to the garden. It's an absolute must see. Breathtaking views.

It's about a mile worth of steps, but well worth it! The view is great from up top and you can take a trail back down, which makes it a bit easier. It's a Manitou Springs staple.

This overlook is right by our house. We recommend going here first to look at the whole park. There are a couple trails you can take from here and the Old Colorado City trail gets you closest to our house.
