Garden of the Gods

A view of the Garden of the Gods with Pike's Peak in the background

Just around the corner from the site of the wedding at Castle Glen Eyre, is the Garden of the Gods, a Colorado State Park exhibiting the near perpendicular sandstone walls and spires formed as these once flat-lying sedimentary beds where tilted upward by the forces that formed the Rocky Mountains.  Sue and I took our nephew, Daniel, into the Garden, but found it difficult to find a parking place wit the enormous popularity of this site.  Late in the afternoon, after multiple trips around the loop, we found a space to park and hopped out to get a closer look and a few photos.

 On Monday morning, we returned with my parents to take another look at these formations.
