Preserved as a city park in Colorado Springs, it was given to the city in 1909 by the children of Rancher Charles Elliot Perkins in keeping with their father's wish that it remain free and open to the public.
I've visited at least a half dozen times beginning in 1993. Now that we live here I drop in about every other year on my visits to Pikes Peak. For more on the Colorado Springs area visit Jules' Blog.
The Official City web link is here, but I thought it was rather commercial.......link above is to Wikipedia.
Now we'll follow the red rocks further west in Colorado............................
What a great place, love the red of the rocks against the blue sky; very 'Lord of The Rings'. I take it this was slide film?
ReplyDeleteIt's slide film of a sort. That old ENC-II film that was leftover motion picture film sold for still photography. You get a negative and a positive. I used this film from 1983 through the 90's. It is no longer available, and I've since moved on to Kodak E100GX.
