Hello,

On my visit to Colorado, I had the pleasure of visiting the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs.  It was a wonderful day of hiking, spending time with great friends, taking photos and enjoying nature.  I will start with the beautiful red rocks the park is known for.  This is a view from the visitors center looking out towards the park.  The visitors center has wonderful exhibits about the park, the rock formations, flora and fauna and the history of the area.

Starting our exploration of the park on the Perkins Central garden Trail. 

The scenery was breathtaking and this was just the first trail we explored.  There were signs for rock climbing posted throughout the park, but did not see anyone climbing that day.  This are also had another formation they simply call White Rock, but that is for another day.  🙂
