Garden
of the Gods is a public park located in Colorado Springs, #Colorado, US.
The outstanding geologic features of the
park are the ancient sedimentary beds of deep-red, pink and while sandstones, conglomerates and limestone that
were deposited horizontally, but have now been tilted vertically and faulted
into "fins" by the immense mountain building forces caused by the
uplift of the Rocky Mountains and the Pikes Peak massif. The
following Pleistocene Ice Age resulted in erosion and glaciation of
the rock, creating the present rock formations.
