Description
A view of Pikes Peak can be seen from a trail in Garden of the Gods, a public park located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The garden's red rock formations were created during a geological upheaval along a natural fault line millions of years ago. In 1879, Charles Elliott Perkins purchased 480 acres of land that included a portion of the present Garden of the Gods. Upon Perkins' death, his family gave the land to the City of Colorado Springs in 1909, with the provision that it would be a free public park. Garden of the Gods was designated a National Natural Landmark in 1971.
