Having spent the day exploring the mountains near Colorado Springs, my wife and I still needed to get in our run workout.  We decided to go run at the Garden Of The Gods.  

We could not have made a better choice. The Garden Of The Gods is a stunning beautiful area to run.  The rock formations are amazing, towering above rolling hills covered in pinyon pine and junipers.  It is a geological wonder.

There are a good number of trails around the park and those that I chose to run on this evening were in excellent condition.  I was able to run well and also gain a fair amount of elevation. I gained over 450 feet during my 50 minute run.  

My wife and I enjoyed our runs so much, we decided that we come back and do another run here later in the week.  There is nothing better than running in nature to end the day.
