Garden of the Gods

 It's been a busy second quarter for the Riden North crew. We've been everywhere from Colorado to North Carolina, and all over the great State of Minnesota. April 2nd was a particularly beautiful day that started early at MSP International Airport and ended with a sunset at the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs.

Colorado Springs is a solid medium to large city whos residents can, at anytime, take a 10 minute drive up to this beautiful park and stroll casually down the paved walkways winding their way amoung the red rock monoliths. After a short drive south from Denver, we settled into our Air BnB and did just that.

Sunset is prime time.

Adjecnet to the Garden of the Gods is the Red Rocks Open Space. It's high on my list for hiking next time we're in the area.

Watch for deer.

It was a relaxing end to a day's travils. Our week started with a spring snow storm in St Paul but quickly turned to semi-arid mountains and red rock. There was just enough of the white stuff around to pretty up the peaks but it was "warm" and sunny in the valley.
