THE GARDEN OF THE GODS, COLORADO SPRINGS: COLORADO 



The Garden of the Gods is now a part of the Colorado Springs park system, having heen 

 transferred on Christmas Day, 1909, by the children of the late Charles Elliott Perkins, with 

 the stipulation that the tract be forever kept open and free to the public. The red-rock 

 formation of this region recalls the fact that the word "Colorado"' means "red" in Spanish.
