Colorado Trip, Day 3
Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, and Colorado Rockies Baseball Game

Monday morning we headed down to Colorado Springs to check out the Garden of the Gods. Then we returned to Denver for the Rockies game against the LA Dodgers. (We won't talk about how the Rockies got thoroughly schooled.....!)

After the Rockies started falling apart, we wandered around the stadium to get views from different areas. This was taken from the outfield concourse.
