Again, a few months ago, Brianna and I made the trip down to the Garden of the Gods near Colorado Springs. I had been fortunate enough to have been there before, but this was Brianna's first time. When we first got there we checked out the Visitor center, but it was totally lame so we picked up a map and headed for the Park. We drove around and headed down to Balance Rock. There was a lot of traffic, but yours truly pulled some illegal maneuvers and got a sweet parking spot there. We spent some time climbing on some rocks and it was kinda cool.
Then we headed up to the actual Garden. We parked and started hiking on a trail that goes around the Garden and saw some cool stuff. Then we hiked in and saw some people rock climbing. We decided to hike back to the car but our map from the Visitor Center super sucked and we got lost. Ended up on a horse trail with poo all over the place. Eventually, we made it back to the car and then ate at Buffalo Wild Wings. Enjoy the pictures.

I think you can sort of see the kissing camels.

I think something famous happened here but I don't remember now.

And some more rocks
