Scenic Park free to the public
Garden of the Gods Park is a city-owned park on the western side of Colorado Springs. Since it's city-owned, there is no fee to go through the park. This is a major tourist destination (shops, photo ops, etc.) and a major locals destination (hiking, horseback riding, etc.) Since my current place of employment is on the southern edge of the park, I drive through on a pretty regular basis. I'll post pics as I can.

On the main road through the park approaching the main rock formations. The way things are framed by this rock cut is quite nice.

A little closer to the rock formations now.

The road around the main rock formations is a one-way loop counter-clockwise. The east side of this loop takes you quite close to the rocks.

This shot was taken by a friend early in the morning from the Garden of the Gods Visitor Center parking lot. This is a phenominal picture, taken by a camera far greater than mine. I have the full sized, 2916x1050 image available as well.
More pics as I take 'em...
