Let me tell you about one of the coolest stops on this trip thus far: Garden of the Gods πŸ‘€

But first, lemme show you how happy this place made me. I was really feeling "down in the dumps" today, but this place totally cheered me up! I've wanted to see this place for awhile, and I'm so happy I've finally visited!

These huge boulders here are like the Mona Lisa of Garden of the Gods. Tons of people showed up to take pictures with them so it made it hard for me to get a good picture πŸ˜„πŸ˜‚πŸ˜

In my opinion, this place looks a bit like Mars or something! πŸ‘€

Wilson and I even ended up seeing Deer on the trails which was pretty crazy! I don't think he's seen this kind of terrain or wildlife before! πŸ˜„πŸΆ

Overall, this place was really awesome, giving slightly off-planet vibes, while also showing a great view of Colorado's highest mountain peak, Pike's Peak!

This place looks dizope

It was super-dizope! You guys gotta bring Ana out here with Nib and I when I move out here πŸ˜„

I have always wanted to go here. Awesome photos. Hopefully on my next trip to CO I can make it.

I highly recommend it!!! If you go anywhere in Colorado it should be here or Mesa Verde πŸ˜„ Which is another favorite of mine 😏

I love this place !!! did you see the kissing camels ?

I'm not 100% if I saw the kissing camels πŸ‘€ I feel like I only saw like 75% of it on this trip. Are they on a particular trail? Do you have any other recommendations for Colorado Springs? πŸ˜„

check out Manitou Springs .... the camels are a rock formation I think you can see from outside/inside the park anywhere

Wow I was just in Manitou yesterday but I didn't see any signs for that, I'll have to look into it... Where you from, are you a Colorado local?

@amvanaken Thanks for sharing. Love it.
