Garden of the Gods, in winter

We had a chance to drive by Colorado Springs this week,
a day or so after some snow.

We tried going up the road in our van, but had some slipping,
so decided not to take the road around the park
.......and sure wished we had one of these instead.

So, we took a short hike along the road.

Boy, what beautiful skies they have!


A hiker coming the other way told us that if we walked another quarter mile along the trail, 
we´d get to see a great view of Pike´s Peak.

But, alas, we had people to meet and a schedule to keep.
So, we just got to see a glimpse of the size of those giant red rocks along the entrance to the park.

Maybe we´ll have more time next time we pass by here after a snow.
