I was contemplating a hike from balancing rock up to Rampart range, for some shooting, this coming weekend. But then I realized that the first few miles of the hike isn't in forest, its in a city park (Garden of the Gods) if I'm reading my maps correctly.

Who would I contact about the legality of hiking FM300 up through the park with a (unloaded, slung) rifle? Am I reading my map right and FR300 is still in Co Springs jurisdiction and not a part of any park?
