Garden of the Gods
I visited a beautiful portion of Colorado Springs today. The Garden of the Gods is composed of sedimentary rock - beautiful red sandstone. The unique thing about the rocks is that all of the sedimentary layers run vertically for a stunning and breathtaking (quite literally as the elevation is around 6000 ft) early morning view.
