My daughter, her dog, and I headed over to Garden of the Gods. We expected it to be packed with holiday visitors, but the parking lot was almost empty when we arrived. We walked the paved trail around the main rocks, with her dog enthusiastically leading the entire way. The parking lot and trails were much busier by the time we left.
