A quick hike
Colorado Springs is a neat city in a great location. Today we did a quick hike, on a trail system starting in the city limits. The recent rains has made for a lot of mud, but we had a nice hike anyway. Not shown in the pictures is the wonderful view of Pikes Peak, which today unfortunately was somewhat hidden by the clouds.
Garden of the Gods
There are some wonderful geologic features in Garden of the Gods, and it is very popular with locals and tourists. But we decided to skip the touristy inner trails, and take the loop trail around the Garden. Gives a very different perspective on the Garden, and some solitude while hiking.
