Garden of the Gods

On a bright, sunny Saturday, Heather and I went down to Colorado Springs to see a little more of what Colorado has to offer.  We stopped in at the amazing Garden of the Gods to look at the rock formations.  The resemblance to Uluru as we approached from the east was striking.

The rock on the right is red while the rock on the left is white.

People were rock climbing around the rock formations.

There were several interesting fins of rock stretching over 100 feet above the valley floor.

The rock fins are very narrow and very tall.

It is an interesting and odd set of rocks in an interesting and odd region of Colorado.
