From Pueblo I drove up to Colorado Springs and
visited the Garden of the Gods, Manitou Springs, and
drove part way up Pikes Peak. I had hoped to drive up
to the summit, but because of a heavy snowfall the
night before; the road was only open for the first 9
miles of the 16-mile ascent. On Pikes Peak I came
upon Santa’s Workshop – the perfect place for it!
I wanted to tour the Manitou Cliff Dwellings but they
were closed for renovations, so I headed up to
Denver. I spent the night with Ken and Francha in Littleton.
These rockpiles were at a wayside rest.
Approaching Garden of the Gods.
Garden of the Gods.
Interesting rock formations.
Another viewpoint.
Balanced rock.
Now I know why it stays balanced!
A picture is worth a thousand words!
North Pole? North Pole? I knew that I should have made a left at Albuquerque!!!
