Garden of the Gods

We spent a couple of days in Colorado Springs, which is just south of Denver.  We are camping ride beside Cheyenne Mountain, which was the home for NORAD.  There are no tours of this facility anymore, but that would have been cool.

This lovely little park, Garden of the Gods is an area of really cool rock formations.  Unfortunately, about 5 minutes after we took this picture there was a huge rainstorm with lots of lightning, so we didn't get a chance to hike around and explore. You can just see a path that winds through the base of the rocks - again, that would have been cool!!
