Hiking
Keyhole, or Sleeping Giant, Rock is a long sandstone rock formation south of the main Garden area. From this spot, which is slightly higher than the main Garden area, you get fantastic views of all the major rock formations, including Gray (Kindergarten) Rock just a few hundred meters directly east of Keyhole Rock, and of Pike's Peak to the west. This is a great spot for watching sunrises and sunsets over Pike's as well.
