this is a fun place to visit. They have a lot of stuff in the gift shop and some is from China and expensive, but the rocks are beautiful and the best prices I have seen. I purchased Peacock Ore, are like a rainbow that glitters in the oar. Beautiful for my rock garden.

Our grandkids love to hike here when they come out. A hike in pinon pines, scrub oak, and red rocks with great views. Can be unbearable hot on a hot summer day! Also, watch out for rattlesnakes. That is why it is great in the winter--beautiful weather much of the winter!

ADDRESS IS WRONG. Given address is BLM office, displays are about 5 miles north of town on Red Canyon Road (Gold Belt Byway). These displays have recently been updated, giving info about the early dinosaur discoveries mad in this area. Farther north from the rest rooms, take the trail which offers views of the digs.

Pack a lunch, brink the kids, and spend 2-4 hours hiking and exploring the trails in this area. Great views. Lots of historical markers to read. Worth a visit!

About a year ago, we went to the Cripple Creek Heritage Center (a great visit if you haven't been there). In it were numerous displays, one on the dinosaurs discovered just south of Cripple Creek. We've lived in Colorado Springs for over 40 years and this was news to us. They said there's been a lot of dinosaur discoveries. We wanted to go see what we could find someday. Well Saturday was that day.

The best trip through the Garden Park Fossil Area is through the Web. There just isn't a lot to see (with good reason. The area is still an active fossil research area.). The BLM has done an admirable job with their viewing area and a short hike. But without knowing just where the fossil quarries are and being willing to do some hiking, the quarries are not in view. And besides, all the visible fossils have been already excavated.

Just knowing it was here and being near was a thrill. I had done quite a bit of Web reading and it's a really neat story and quite an international treasure.

Got see it, if only to be close to some amazing history.

The quarries have produced incredible dinosaur skeletons. It is interesting to see the 1877 photos of the bones sticking out of the ground and lying on top of the ground. The story boards tell some of the history, but it helps to research Garden Park sites before you go. Great geology in this area.

Oil Well Flats, a BLM, property is in the Garden Park area. There are tons of trails for hiking and biking. Several good parking areas.
The trails are nicely done and you see beautiful rock formations in the distance. You climb high and can see forever.
This is a very popular place with people from all over the area

This area is a gold mine for fossils. Stop by the museum and see the fossils, learn about our early history. Paleontologist's started digging north of Canon in the Garden Park Fossil Area in the 1870's. Great drive and history stops along the way on Red Canyon Road. The best Stegasaurus remains every found have come out of this area.

This is a good place to visit for a short hike. It's pretty, but nothing spectacular. Don't be mislead by the term "restrooms" as there is no running water...they are simply out houses. Not a big deal if you know that going in. I would recommend stopping if this is on your way to another point of interest, but not a point of interest in and of itself.

We stopped here with the kids to soak in some history. There are some nice, short trails, signage, bathrooms and places to sit. A nice little stop over to take a load off and learn a thing or two.
