Colorado's Garden of the Lesser Gods
Kind of a cool spot along Ten Mille Creek west of town, and pretty much only locals know about it. Easy to get to but hard to find, and I stumbled onto it about 10 years ago cause I don't follow the beaten path much, and I don't know the history of it or who did it. Lots of rocks arranged in different 'sculptures'. To me, I noticed dogs, cats, monsters, and alligators. (I think alligators are easier to do, as there looks to be 3 or 4 of them) You walk around what looks like a pile of rocks and it turns into an animal, real or imaginary. When you start studying them, you realize whoever did this really does have a special talent. I thought the paved area might date from the mining era, but everything else is more modern. Another remarkable thing, nobody vandalizes this place.
