5229.  Gateway, Garden of the Gods, Colorado
Pikes Peak in the Distance
The Garden of the Gods is one of the strangest, most wonderful rock formations in the Rocky Mountains.  Its reputation has spread 'round the world, and thousands marvel at its massive grandeur every year.  The picture shows the Gateway.  Hundreds of stone formations within the Garden assume as many varieties of eccentric sculpture.  The stone is of a beautiful red tint, weathered into many fantastic forms, which are the wonder of nature lovers.  The magnitude of these rock ruins is the first thing to impress the dweller of the plains.
