Sunrise At Garden Of The Gods - Colorado Springs, Colorado

Garden of the Gods is a public park located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA at the foot of Pike's Peak. It was designated a National Natural Landmark in 1971.

There are many native peoples who have reported a connection to Garden of the Gods, including Ute, Comanche, Apache, Kiowa, Shoshone, Cheyenne, Pawnee and Lakota people.
