| Garden of the Gods park: There are some huge red rock formations at one place very close to Colorado Springs, and it was named as Garden of the Gods park. Admission is free. Entering the park:   Spotted few people enjoying the park on a "segway" - a two wheel self-balancing electric vehicle.   Rock formations:       |

Segway - is most popular way to explore especially in San Francisco city and also being used as a mode of transport for police within Atlanta airport. I see police using a cycle in Denver airport  | |

| Senior - BHPian | These are some awesome pics. Are there any adventure tour operators who organise these rock climbing adventures? The climbing on the narrow width stone is scary. BTW did you try your hand at it? |
