Colorado
Springs, 02-05 July 2005
Kim and I were invited to a wedding in Colorado Springs, so we drove via I-80
through Wyoming to Colorado Springs and spent a couple of days there. Prior to
the wedding, we decided to go and visit the Garden of Gods, which is a natural
park owned by the city of Colorado Springs. Garden of Gods is known for its
famous sandrock formations with Pikes Peak within the view.

is known as the "Kissing Camels" seen
close to the entrance of the park. |
|
| Here
are some towering rocks grouped together, known as
the Gateway Rocks. |
|
| Here
is the reason why this is called the Gateway Rocks.
These two formations acts as a gate to the park. |

trip. |
