Now.... now.... I know for a fact there was a "no stopping or parking" sign in front of that "Garden of the Gods" sign! My family gave me unending grief about stopping long enough just for a shot of the sign!
We got lucky being there a few weeks ahead of you. The weather was much milder so we were able to do some short hikes.
We also saw some climbers out on the rocks. I had to pass on a photo though since I had the wrong lens on.
I'll be curious to hear about the cave dwellings. Drew really wanted to do that, but we ended up there too late in the day and had to bypass it.
And ......... love your son's Missouri shirt!
If he was in a KU shirt, I might have had to unsubscribe from your TR!
