Colorado Springs Area

Miscellaneous sites from around the Colorado Springs area.  Here you will find pictures of the Royal Gorge Bridge, The Air Force Academy Chapel, and the Garden of the Gods.

 

Interestingly enough, I had accidentally misspelled "Royal Gorge" as "Royal Gourge" on an earlier version of this page, and we actually got quite a bit of of Google-driven traffic here!  So I'll keep a few misspelled Royal Gourge's here just to keep people coming!

Air Force Academy Chapel:A very cool building. I wonder if they'd allow it to be built today?

Air Force Academy Chapel:We were pretty happy how this picture turned out. The original (of which this is a scan) turned out beautifully, and we had it framed and is still hanging up in our house.

Balanced RockThe famous rock, that everyone has to take a picture of as if they're holding it up. We resisted the temptation.

Cathy with Cog-wheel train trackThey have a cog-wheel train you can take up the mountain. Instead, we took our 1994 Saturn. It was generally a good car, but started to overheat driving up, and the brakes overheated on the way down. Fortunately neither problem caused us any trouble.

Posing with a viewThis kind of looks like one of those "fake background" studio pictures, but it isn't.
