Garden of the Gods for the Last Time

Ok ... just because I have an excess of images here from the garden of the gods, I'm posting them once more then we can move on to other images! Again, since I have too many Garden of the Gods images, you are getting four of them here and the rest will be up on FLICKR HERE by the time you read this. Next images to come include images from Bear Creek regional park, Pike's Peak, and Cheyenne Mountain Zoo!

The first image is of the central Garden of the Gods from the high point on ridge road. The second image is from one of the most picturesque parts of the Garden. This is the highest place you can get to (without rock climbing) in the central parts of the garden. The third image is of the famous "Pike's Peak" as the sun falls behind the mountain range. Finally, the last image shows what I was talking about earlier about the Colorado Springs landscape, desert and mountains!

STILL the Garden of the Gods

Ok .... so I have a lot of images from the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs that I want to share with you. These are three from my second time hiking through the Garden. The rest of the images from the first time through have all been thrown up on FLICKR HERE.

The first image is from one of the high vantage points overlooking the the mountains in the distance, including the famous Pike's Peak which is dead center. The second is of the Grey Rock (maybe it is the white one, I have to double check) close to the entrance to the main paths in the Garden. And finally, the third one is taken FROM the top of the same Grey Rock looking into the gateway of the paths in the central garden.
