The tall pinnacles and monoliths of the Garden of the Gods formed millions and millions of years ago as a result of a fault line shift. Forces from the Earth’s crust rose in a verticle uplift of buried Pikes Peak granite.
The red sandstone formations stand like watchmen in the valley. Strolling through the park is like descending into a foreign landscape.
