This first pic is from the gorgeous Mesa Drive. When you see a pic of Pikes Peak and Garden Of The Gods it is almost always from this vantage point. And so of course I had to get it from there as well.
This image is from just off the road on the south side of the park. I particularly liked this one. The way it stands out and the few trees that are making a living in the rock keep it from being a plain photo and is somewhat of a testament to the tenacity of life.
Taken from the same location as the one in the previous post, but new snow and wet rock make it look a little more intense.
This is a side view of the big formation that you can see on the far left of the previous photo.
The following three pics are all from Glenn Eyrie. They allow visitors in monday through thursday to hike and roam the property as well as visit the castle. The other days are reserved for groups and parties. Ladies, if you are ever in the area stop by and have formal tea at the castle. It will be an occasion to remember and the castle is truly beautiful, the craftsmanship is incredible.
This is a stand alone formation at the south end of the parking lot at the coach house. I didn't notice it when taking the picture but there is a lamp in the lower right. The color of this rock is particularly brilliant, more so than most of the rock in GotG.
The following two are of a hogsback ridge that I have always been fond of due to its brilliant color. Reds, greens, orange, brown and black all on the same rock and all there naturally. I am going to need a wide angle lens to really get this formation on film. The second picture has the sun faintly shining through the clouds.
