Wednesday we visited a National Natural Landmark known as Garden of the Gods. In 1909 the family of Charles Elliott Perkins gave the City of Colorado Springs 480 acres of land that is a portion of the park today with the provision that it would be a free public park. The park has grown to 1,364 acres.
Driving through the park you see every imaginable shape of deep red rocks. Several rock climbers had made it to the top of the rock formations. Look for them in the pictures below.

| This formation looks like a fish to me. |
 |
| Kissing Camels |

| White Rock - strange how the color of this rock is white while all the others were deep red and pink. |

| Bighorn sheep |
