The Paint Mines, Calhan, CO

About 20 miles NE of where we are here in Falcon ( a burb of Colo Spgs) there is a wonderful colorful park called the Paint Mines. This is where Indians did, many years ago, come to gather pigment to make paint for coloring pots.  

We went with Evelyn and 2 of her grandchildren and had a wonderful little hike through the area!
