Garden of the Gods, Colorado Springs, CO

On Friday we headed off to explore the Garden of the Gods and had a great morning hiking and checking out the impressive stone formations. As we arrived the Wounded Warriors were just entering the park on bikes.
Some in homemade versions of adaptive bikes to assist with their abilities. With the inclines straining their muscles it was impressive to see everyone "being there" for each other. Wildlife abounds, saw deer "bouncing" through the fields.
And several birds, I have yet to identify one with black and white and irridescent patches with long tail feathers. The day was a beauty with warm sunshine. I was surprised with the numbers of people checking everything out on a friday. There was a girl scout troop and several families as well as a few "mommy outings with babies in strollers. It is a park that is free and open to the public, on donated lands.
This formation is called "kissing camels".
a snow covered Pikes Peak is in the distance.
