Overlook of park from visitor center on cool July 4 morning. Pikes Peak can be seen in the background. The clouds from the previous night's rain had just moved from blocking the morning sun about 5 minutes before I took this shot at 8:30 a.m.

Park entrance, just west of Colorado Springs. The park is owned by the city, so it's difficult to find information and maps. It's not a big park, but you can easily spend a few hours or a morning there.

South Gateway Rock

Signature Rock

Cathedral Spires and Three Graces

July 4 in the "Garden" , a great day for a walk with my son and brother-in-law!
