Garden of the Gods

I visited Colorado Springs, CO on the way home from our stay in Estes Park in 2014.

One of the places I was very excited to see was the Garden of the Gods. It was so interesting to learn about the history of the protected area. Walking amongst the rock formations felt otherworldly. The rich rusty colors intermingled with the greens of the trees and surrounding areas, was quite a different site. It is a nice walk around this area, and if you're a nature and/or history nerd like myself, you will enjoy the information center and the cute littles facts and details about the garden.

Here are some photos from my visit
