Garden of the Gods


We went through the Garden of the Gods http://www.gardenofgods.com/, which is a phenomenal display of red sandstone rocks in various formations.  It was donated to the City of Colorado Springs by the children of Charles Elliot Perkins.   These sandstone rocks are just amazingly beautiful.  What is more amazing is that the City of Colorado Springs continues to abide by the donor’s request that these geological formations are available to the world, at no cost.  The City of Colorado Springs has added additional features which can command fees, but the spirit of the donation is being maintained.



We were able to find an area in which we could have a late afternoon lunch picnic.  That was really special.  A great bonus to our trip to the Yellowstone!
