The High Point Overlook is a scenic vista located in the Garden of the Gods Park in Colorado Springs, Colorado. This overlook is on Ridge Road just 0.2 miles south the southernmost part of the Juniper Way Loop. This vista provides sweeping views of the park’s rock formations and the surrounding mountains. The famous Central Garden area can be seen to the north and Pikes Peak is visible to the west.

There are about 30 parking spaces at the High Point Overlook. The overlook is wheelchair accessible. There is a pergola at this vista with an informational sign nearby. There are no other amenities at this vista other than a garbage bin.

For those interested in hiking, there is a short spur trail that leads to the Old Colorado City Trail. There are no fees to enter Garden of the Gods and dogs are welcome as long as they are on a leash.
