GATEWAY, GARDEN OF GODS

This "Gateway" is one of the most striking bits of scenery in the whole range of the Rocky Mountains. This "Beautiful Gate" consists of two enormous masses of red sandstone, and between them rises a smaller rock mass, dividing the entrace into two passages. The right-hand rock has a curious resemblance to a huge kneeling camel. Behind the rocks a magnificent mountain panorama presents itself, and immediately through the Gate, Pike's Peak is seen, rising in indescribable grandeur.
