Just south of Colorado Springs is Garden of the Gods. It is free to the public and full of hiking trails, a driving path and rock climbing opportunity. It is also where my friend Nicole’s fiance proposed a few years ago 🙂

Many of the rocks have specific names, you can grab a map in the visitors center and then try your best to pinpoint which is named which.

These are the hogbacks because they resemble the spine of a pig…says the book anyway.
