Garden of the Gods

   As we continue along with our journey through Colorado a bit, we find ourselves at Garden of the Gods located in Colorado Springs, CO. As we are true crime fans and follow the career of Det. Joe Kenda, we found it necessary to discover the town of Colorado Springs which brought us here. Side note=hope you all didn't mind the sneaky shout out to our world of true crime. 😉

  Words will be hard to describe the beauty that we took in while visiting this park. It is free to just show up and explore and they have all kinds of hiking trails throughout if you decide to take in some exercise. If you would rather just drive around and explore, it will take you about a half an hour to do so, depending on how much traffic is involved as it is a busy place. We later on discovered that you can take guided jeep rides around the park as well if you decide to. The giant natural rock formations are just plain breath taking and seem as though they are not even of this world. Certain horizon shots would glare upon the giant stones, perhaps even while you catch a rock climber scaling up the mountain. If that is not a good enough reason to get you to visit, they have one of the absolute best gift shops that we encountered upon our trip. It was equipped with every kind of Colorado souvenir you could think of, a fudge station, lots of tshirts and clothes, and even a Native American crafts area. 

Final Thoughts: Simply put...this is a MUST see!!!
