Garden of the Gods, Colorado Springs, Colorado
Location
Garden of the Gods is situated on the northwestern outskirts of Colorado Springs, in the angle formed between I-25 and US24 and Colorado State Highway 24 (the latter two roads running parallel and very close to each other).
Description
Garden of the Gods is a park. The main attraction is the large number of weirdly shaped red sandstone rock formations which were created by natural erosion. A number of roads run through the park, forming quite a little labyrinth.
There is no entrance charge to Garden of the Gods.
The Garden of the Gods Camera Obscura (small entrance charge) is an intriguing device which projects a live image onto a flat circular table. The camera gradually revolves through 360 degrees, with the image changing as this happens. When the camera is pointing in the correct direction, Pikes Peak can be clearly seen.
