Rock Images in the Garden of the Gods

I always find hidden messages and creatures in rock formations. The Garden of the Gods has many rock formations that are named.

Horses in the Garden of the Gods

One never knows which creatures one will see on a hike. But it is almost a certainty to see horses on many of the trails in the Garden of the Gods. And if you don’t actually see the horses, you always must be careful where you step, because horses have been there and leave their […]
