I wonder why all those people were steering me away then? Next time I'm in the area I'll go over and check it out now that you recommend it. Take care, John Jessica,

Garden of the Gods does not charge for the park. Admission is free. It's beautiful and a great drive with plenty of photo ops. We go all the time just to sneak some climbs on the red rocks. Anyway, I didn't want future visitors to miss the beauty of Garden of the Gods due to price. It's free!!! I will agree though that the cliff dwellings is a let down and too expensive for what the actual attraction is. I live in Colorado Springs and just wanted to clear up one wrong entry you had.

But that doesn't mean that they don't get sick. Personally I just got a little dizzy and out of breath. However, it is a major national park installation with park rangers all over the place and facilities at both the peak and the base. I would guess that they have very adequate medical response in the park. I didn't take the cog railway so I don't know about that, but I do know that when you drive up the rangers are also driving around as well as lots of other cars. Hope that helps, John RJ,
