I had to drive through a beautiful little area called Monitou Springs. It was charming with all the festivities of saturday evening..
It was nice to see a lot of people walking around.. tiny shops everywhere..it was like small downtown/ european downtown feeling..

After getting passed that, i was going to Garden of the Gods. I had no idea of what it is. I went to the visitor center and i am glad i did it. Because, GOG is full of rock formations. To me, arizona/Utah border is the world capital of rock formations. So i was not really interested in spending time there. So I decided to proceed to my next stop, Pike's Peak.

Pike's peak is one of the tallest peaks in the rockies. It is the tallest where you can drive a normal car all the way to the peak summit.
