Your terms are confused.

Simple present tense: I go, she goes.
Present progressive: I'm going, she's going.
Present participle: going
Gerund (present participle form used as a noun): Going is easier than coming back.

Both of your sentences are fine. Both have a noun object of the preposition 'to'.
