Description

"Siamese Twins Formation Window, Garden of the Gods, Colorado" by Catherine Sherman.

A natural rock window in the Siamese Twins formation at the Garden of the Gods in Colorado reveals a scenic vista of the forested foothills of the Rocky Mountains beyond. The red sandstone formation is captured in fine detail, with the rough edges framing the greenery in the distance.

The Siamese Twins Trail on the west side of Garden of the Gods Park is 0.6-mile hike near Colorado Springs. The popular trail, with a 108-foot elevation gain, makes an open loop from the trailhead in Spring Canyon to the Siamese Twins, a sandstone formation with two summits. An arched opening in the Twins offers an iconic view west toward 14,115-foot Pikes Peak, which is not pictured here, making it a favorite shot for photographers.

The Garden of the Gods Park in Colorado Springs, Colorado, is popular for hiking, technical rock climbing, road and mountain biking and horseback riding, attracting more than two million visitors a year. The park was designated a National Natural Landmark in 1971.

When I reached this picturesque spot, two young women were taking selfies in the window. They very kindly stepped down so I could take this photograph, and then I took their photograph with their phone cameras when they returned to their perch.
