We're in Colorado Springs for 2 days, camping at a gorgeous place called Cheyenne Mountain State Park. We're tucked right under the mountain, overlooking the town.
We went to see the Garden of the Gods first. Just as we arrived, a storm came through.

| Great sky, though! |
 |
| This is a famous part of the Garden of the Gods called Balanced Rock |
 |
| After a quick detour to wait out the storm in a coffee shop in Manitou Springs (a cool little town in and of itself) we returned to Garden of the Gods in clearer weather. Beautiful clouds! |
 |
This is part of the main street in Manitou Springs.

| Some of these rock formations are crazy. There are lots of hiking trails and we really enjoyed exploring at the end of the day, when lots of the other visitors had already left. |
 |
| As we left the Garden of the Gods it began to rain again - it's rained on and off every day for the last several days, but the sun always comes out again eventually. |
The next day we road to the top of Pike's Peak - 38 miles trip round trip, up to about 14,500 feet. Those photos still to come... Gotta go for now!
Loving your blog Cynthia!! Iren here. Looks like you are really exploring the beautiful parts as you go along. We are in Portland Maine for a few days and then will head further up the coast and cross over from Southwest Harbour. Safe travels and hugs to both of you.
