Great hiking, there are plenty of spots to take in scenic views! Garden of the Gods will always hold a special place in my heart because it was the first place my boyfriend and I hiked together.

As a first time mountain biker, this park was tough! There were several hiking and bike trails to choose from, and they were clearly marked. This is a great place to start mountain biking and there are increased difficulty trails for when you get confident!

There are tons of things to do at Oak Mountain - there are hiking trails, mountain biking trails, water sports like kayaking and swimming, plus the camping is great! Very easy to navigate and perfect for a weekend or weeklong trip!

Hiking down to the falls was pretty darn tough, but there are actually stairs to climb rather than scrambling over rocks and roots. At first I felt like I was cheating by using the stairs, but believe me, you want to use them but the time you have to climb back up. The park is beautifully maintained and the views are absolutely stunning!
