Colorado Springs, Garden of the Gods


The Garden of the Gods is this gorgeous public park with canyons and redrock formations located not too far from Pike's Peak. The park has miles of trails and paths and lots of outdoor activities as well as a nature center. This is Colorado Spring's town park; basically it's their Central Park. We took a little bus tour of the park; our guide explained the park got its name as follows: the two cowboys who first discovered the valley were stunned by its beauty. One said to the other it would be perfect for a European-style beer garden. The other, appalled by the idea said, no, this is no beer garden, this a garden of the gods!.
