Garden of the Gods

We spent the day in the Garden of the Gods.  It was easy.  This park is a must see for anyone visiting Colorado Springs!  Please enjoy!

Pikes Peak looks over the Garden of the Gods at an impressive 14,110 feet!





this rock formation is called the Siamese Twins











The plaque below set in the sandstone wall indicates the park was gifted by the Perkins family to the city of Colorado Springs in 1909 and was always to remain free to the public
