I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the Garden of the Gods is a park, admission is free, and it's not a tourist trap at all. I don't know why it took 4 years for me to learn this. It was not too crowded in March, but in summer, the traffic is probably crazy on the one-way roads through the park.
