Garden of Gods – Colorado`s public city park
Baku, November 4, AZERTAC
Garden of the Gods in Colorado is a public city park that does not need any attractions - nature took care of that. Hundreds of immense red sandstone spires, bridges, and other precariously balanced rock formations are intersected by 15 miles of well-managed trails. As expected in a park with so many interesting rocks, rock climbing is very popular.
The park formations were formed out of bedded sandstone, limestone, and conglomerates by the forces that built nearby Pikes Peak massif, tilting it into a vertical position. It is easy to spot the remnants of marine fossils and even the fossils of dinosaurs. The largest rock formation is the 320-feet-tall Gateway Rock. Many animals have made the park their home - it is easy to see bighorn sheep, mule deer, and foxes as well as more than 130 species of birds.
