Garden of the Gods

Saturday 8/02
As we got closer to Colorado Springs, we began to look in our camping book for a place to stay. We found one that sounded good and called to make sure they had a spot for us. They gave us the Okay so we made a bee line for this campground. When we got there we could see that the RVs were parked like sardines, one next to the other so we didn’t even stop. We located a KOA nearby and they had a spot for us for the three days.
As usual, after setting up camp we took off to see an attraction nearby. We went to see the Garden of the Gods in Manitou Springs. The Garden of the Gods is one of the most popular attractions in the Pikes Peak Colorado Springs area. The park has an abundance of plant and animal life. We were fascinated by the magnificent red sandstone rock formations, for which the Garden of the Gods is most famous. We walked along the foot paths taking pictures and looking at these great rock formations. When it got dark, we headed back to the campsite.
