Since prehistoric times, the Garden of the Gods has been a source of fascination. This geologic formation in Colorado Springs was a seasonal camping site and source of spiritual significance for the Ute Indians. Later, scientists studied the formation and found evidence of dinosaurs, prehistoric cultures and unusual biological associations. Artists, writers, and photographers have been inspired by the beauty of this geologic wonder and tourists and entrepreneurs once left their marks on the rocks. Through the efforts of Gen. William Jackson Palmer and Charles Elliot Perkins, the park became a reality and was given to the city of Colorado Springs. Today, the Garden of the Gods draws 1.7 million visitors per year who savor the natural beauty of the park.
