Pikes Peak, from Garden of the Gods, 1874. Creator: Phineas F. Annin
Pikes Peak, from Garden of the Gods, 1874. View of Pikes Peak from rock formations near Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA. At the " gateway" we are between two precipitous walls of sandstone, two hundred feet apart, and three hundred and fifty feet high...beyond that, in the distance, we have a glimpse of the faint snow-line of Pikes Peak. The scene is strangely impressive. The walls form almost an amphitheatre, enclosing a patch of level earth. In the foreground there is an embankment consisting of apparently detached rocks, some of them distorted into mushroom-shape, and others secreting shallow pools of water in their darkling hollows. A rock rises midway between the walls at the gateway, and elsewhere in the garden there are monumental forms that remind us of the valley of the Yellowstone. From " Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, A Delineation by Pen and Pencil of the Mountains, Rivers, Lakes...with Illustrations on Steel and Wood by Eminent American Artists" Vol. II, edited by William Cullen Bryant.
