VisitCOS.com
VisitCOS.com is run by the Colorado Springs Convention & Visitors Bureau. The website provides superb Colorado Springs tourism resources including the official city guide.
Besides some of the expected tourism categories (art, food, lodging, etc.), the site provides details on conventions, travel, sports planning and much more. There’s even wedding planning information.
Friends of Garden of the Gods
FOGG is another non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization, founded in 1991 to ensure the Park and its beauty would be sustained for generations to come.
Why does the park need more than one non-profit working in conjuction with Colorado Springs Park, Recreation, and Cultural Services? As friendsofgardenofthegods.org puts it, “The upkeep of the Garden of the Gods requires significant resources in terms of both money and people to sustain the Garden’s beauty. Over 2 million visitors walk the trails every year; this type of traffic requires a lot of money and many dedicated volunteers to maintain these trails.” Learn about joining FOGG.
