Here are the pictures that I promised so long ago. It is a bit of a mishmash.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is the Garden of the Gods and seen from above and northwest


At it's center is this little neat formation

It really is very garden like


There are many cool formations in the surrounding hills. These have fewer climbing restrictions.


I spent the afternoon at Pikes Peak. Here it is seen through a formation at the Garden.


This is the tree line. I personally know people who have never been above it.

  1. Cool pix!

    If you can get up to the Anchorage area after November or so, try skiing at Alyeska ski resort. It's 1000 skiable acres, mostly above tree line. Beautiful. And makes it easy for us green and blue hill skiiers to avoid those big, tall obstacles! :-)
