Garden of the Gods

What's more appropriate than one of Heavenly Father's most beautiful creations to post on Sunday? This is about twenty minutes from our home. Its called Garden of the Gods. Just west of the city of Colorado Springs, you turn behind some hills, and there it is. It used to be on private property and in the early 20th century, the man who owned it died, and declared in his will that it be given to the city so all that came here could enjoy it. What a marvelous gift from the Lord and from a man!

Enjoy . . . .

This a view of Peak's Peak from Garden of the Gods.
Here is the plaque thanking the man who gave it to the city.
Trying to give you some perspective, MyGirl is five foot six.
Another Pike's Peak view and some of the trees surrounding this area.
There were a lot of pieces of rock that looked like they would fall, so precariously they are perched, but for now, they are steady.
Fun places to explore,
especially with your grandparents.
Amazing how may worn areas there are. In one of the holes we could see a nest with some pigeons living there.
While most of the rocks are red, some are definitely whiter.
I thought this picture looks like Little Buddy is sitting on the foot of a giant.
Another amazing space, just carved out in the middle of the rock.
Truly a place of beauty and wonder!
