Garden of the Gods

September 27, 2013 1 comment

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.
