COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO

We went to Garden of the Gods which is a beautiful and free park to visit. There are huge red rocks that jut out of the earth. What a marvelous place! We hiked around the central part of the park on a nice paved walkway. Then we went and hiked to two rocks called “Siamese Twins”. They were really neat.

Then we went to Manitou Springs which has cliff dwellings of the Pueblo Indians. These dwellings were acquired from different areas of New Mexico and Southern Colorado and brought here in the early 1900’s. Native Americans lived in these dwellings until 1984. We walked inside the cliff dwellings and saw how small they were. Four families were housed in four rooms of the dwellings.
