Garden of the Gods is a public park located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I visited the unique rock formation during a Spring Break road trip last semester. The park is a popular destination for hikers, climbers and campers. There are plenty of trails for adventurers of all ages and technical abilities. The view at sunset is serene, and from the Garden, one can see the towering Pike's Peak. It really is a beautiful place, and I can see why the park attracts roughly 2 million visitors a year. I plan on going back this fall!
Garden of the Gods is such a dramatic-looking place, Thorpe: fabulous! I am glad you will get to go back there again soon and explore some more. If you want, you could use this class to learn something about the Apache and other Native peoples who have been drawn to that amazing landscape. There's an Apache unit coming up in class, and many wonderful Native American resources you can find online too; here's a preview if you are curious: Freebookapalooza: Native American
ReplyDeleteWow, this looks so amazing. I have been to colorado many times but have never gotten to see this. There is so much history and so many stories behind just this one picture. It would be cool to here more about this Garden of the Gods and to even go there.
