Garden of the Gods
When walking through these geologic gods, one is tempted to refer to them as formations, but these gods were created by the pushing and shoving and crashing of the earth during mountain formation.
From Wiki: The outstanding geologic features of the park are the ancient sedimentary beds of red and white sandstones, conglomerates and limestone that were deposited horizontally, but have now been tilted vertically and faulted by the immense mountain building forces caused by the uplift of the Pikes Peak massif. Evidence of past ages; ancient seas, eroded remains of ancestral mountain ranges, alluvial fans, sandy beaches and great sand dune fields can be read in the rocks.
