What a great day!! We hit the road towards colorado springs around 11:30 and had amazing mountain views the entire way. We went through the west side of colorado springs and stopped off at a wal-mart to make some lunch and stretch our legs. After a little while we got restless and decided to check out garden of the gods. Wow! I was blown away with the scenery and scope of the whole place. The redstone offered a beautiful accent to the mountian backdrop. It was starting to sprinkle when we drove in and the place was starting to clear out, but about 10 minutes after we walked past the entrance sunlight broke through and gave way to the rolling mountians and jagged outcroppings. 

We spent a few hours taking in the sights and then decided to head towards our next campsite at Cheyenne mountain state park.
