Athmar Park Travel Guide

Denver

The man on the left has scaled this Mass of rock structure as the birds watch him in the right in the Garden of the Gods, Denver CO, USA. 
Situated right next to Colorado Springs off of US Highway 24 lies a small park aptly named Garden of the Gods. The acreage of the park is rather modest, like Red Rocks, but the sandstone formations are quite striking and memorable. Several massive rocks are decorated with jagged profiles with colors ranging from white, mild orange and rich reds. Spires of up to two pitch height are scattered behind these larger rocks. The park is highly developed and has cement trails in places. Climbing is almost exclusively trad, though there are many routes with drilled angles that don't require gear other than draws. Rock quality varies from formation to formation and can be very crumbly. For Front Range denizens who want to get used to soft desert sandstone, this is a great place to experience it. Get used to an audience, as the crowded park has hundreds of visitors on weekends.

The room was quite hot as the air condition isn’t controllable in the room very easily. They were able to bring us a fan that helped a little. The room was a lot smaller than I thought with very very limited space in the bathroom. I also wasn’t aware there was no fridge or microwave. It was clean ...

We had already paid and checked in when the staff handed us a paper saying that for 1 of the 2 days we would be staying at Sonesta Downtown Denver there would be no water or electricity. The helpful advice was if we needed water or electricity we should simply leave the hotel before 10am. NOT acceptable. ...
