TripAdvisor named our own Garden of the Gods the No. 2 top free atrraction unheralded in the United States. The No. 1, by the by, was watching the sunset from Mallory Square in Key West, Fla.

Here’s the blurb:

2. Sandstone Sensation: Garden of the Gods, Colorado Springs, Colorado

Its name does not overstate the beauty and the scale of this impressive sight. The Garden of the Gods is home to some of the most uniquely beautiful sandstone rock formations in the country, and affords incredible views of Colorado’s famous Pike’s Peak mountain behind the stunning red giants of the park. According to one TripAdvisor traveler, “Beautiful and right near the city, it’s free. Be sure to look for the ‘kissing camels’ (two rocks that resemble camel heads kissing).”
