| | Shigeko and I had a wonderful weekend in Colorado Springs. Weather was great, food was sublime and all was enjoyed in a state of utter relaxation.
West of Salina, headed to the Mountains.
Near Colby, Ks. A prairie dog village.
At the Main Garden formation in Garden of the Gods.
On the hiking loop around the main formations This was about 9:30 in the morning.
Big Horn Sheep. The photo is at the extreme range for the camera which is why it is a little blurry. They were about a half mile away.
This formation is called "Siamese Twins"
Pikes Peak as seen through the Siamese Twins.
Shigeko on the Siamese Twins.
Later we went to the Manitou Springs Cliff Dwellings.
And to the top of Pikes Peak. It was a busy day.
We rode the cog train up to the top. much easier than driving or walking :)
Sigh at the top. It was about 38 degrees at the top but 80 at the bottom.
This is "Cave of the Winds". We toured it on the last day before we headed home. 3 days is too short a time to have in such a beautiful place.
