I remember swimming at Colorado Springs. The pool had rocks at the bottom. The name "Garden of the Gods is familiar, but I don't remember the park. This is the first time I've typed since my surgery. My finger is still wrapped up a lot. but I'm glad my first typing is for you! 🙂
We used to go to Garden of the Gods every summer when we would go to a ranch and stay for a week with our church. My mom’s cousin had a Candle shop at Pikes Peak and would get a candle every year.
The juxtaposition of lush green trees surviving in scorching dry hard rock, reminds me that we will never be thirsty because God is with us during ‘hard’, heated times on our journey. Big hugs to you and Mom.
Love love love Garden of the Gods. We stop there every time we visit the parents in CO Springs. My favorite is going early in the morning and seeing all the deer. So beautiful!
I haven’t been to Garden of the Gods since 1983. My great aunt and uncle lived in Colorado Springs and could see Pikes Peak out of their living room window.
I grew up in Colorado Springs. Garden of the Gods was always in my backyard. If you have the time you should go up to top of Pike's Peak either by train or drive. You would love it.
Love Garden of the Gods❤ we are having very unusual hot weather this summer, if you ever want to go to the best place to see a concert then Red Rocks amphitheater is a must! It’s in Morrison, CO. Love your cruise vlogs but am loving seeing my state from your eyes! Thank you! Hope your mom continues to do well sending prayers and love ❤️
So glad you went there. I lived in Colorado Springs when I was in the Army.. my first son was born there in Fort Carson… that was about 28 years ago though.. lol. We left in 1995. We did visit there and I still have a few photos of us under the balancing rock. Still so beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
I was there 2 years ago and this is such an amazing and awesome place. The scenery, rock formations with the mountains in the background. It was hot the day I went and the place was jammed. I bought stuff at both locations LOL. I wanna go back SO BAD. Only animal I saw a deer that was right up to the walkway, plus a lot of birds.

I am so glad I sent The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and the Horse to Sherri. Truth be told, I didn’t think you would read it and thought Sherri might urge you to do that. It turned out great when you picked it up and read it.
I loved your commentary. Very good video + info. I plan to visit Colorado Springs next year with my adult kids. We are definitely visiting Garden of the Gods. I cannot wait. 😊 You are very pleasant to listen to. I wish your mama well. 🕊️ Again, good video. 🕊️
I highly recommend Cave of the Winds/The Manitou cliff dwellings. Manitou Springs it self is gorgeous. Also, The Wolf and Wildlife Center is a great visit! The Cheyenne mountain zoo is fun and my number 1 recommended restaurant is Fargo’s Pizza!!
Think about seeing Bishop’s Castle in Rye Colorado about an hour South of Pueblo now that’s amazing built by one man just research it definitely worth seeing
Visited Colorado Springs a couple times as a kid. Great memories. Actually lived in Colorado Springs for 3 years from ‘09-‘12 while on assignment from employer. We did as much as we could in 3 years. Love Colorado. Would like to visit Alaska. Praying for mom right now. IJN!
Beautiful video, Adam! We enjoyed visiting the Air Force chapel as well as Garden of the Gods and Pike’s Peak. Very nice town for a family vacation 😊 Prayers for your mom’s healing. 🙏🏼🩷
Love watching you explore my home state. Spent so much time in the Colorado Springs area growing up. If you ever want to explore the NE part of the state or if you are a Hometown Takeover fan, reach out! So glad to see your mom is doing so well.
Fox Run Park and Palmer Park are great places to visit in Colorado Springs. They do not come close to Garden of the Gods, but they are still worth the drive.
Never been to GOG...it is beautiful...but the warning sign about rattlesnakes might be my drawback! 😮 Eww I hate snakes of any kind! Thanks for sharing and bringing us along. Keeping your Mom in my prayers. Blessings to you both🙏
Looked absolutely incredible! I have friends that live in Lakewood, Colorado. I wonder if they’ve ever been. I’ll have to ask them. Thanks for taking us along! Hope your mom’s chemo session went well 🤗🙏🏾
I wonder if Missy would mind if you brought home a pet dinosaur😅. Yes, definitely in the Southwest bring a hat, sunscreen, water, snacks, light weight clothing, lightweight jacket, sunglasses, and let someone know where you are going and when you plan to return whenever you going hiking. Also a good idea to have extra water, small sugar and salt packets in the car incase of dehydration.
@legglife - remember to give your mom lots of hugs and kisses and tell her that you love her every time you see her and before you leave. Trust me you won't regret it.

WHEN I WAS HERE IN 1974..NOTHINGS LIKE THIS WAS HERE
.WOW. IT. HAS GROW ..GOT TO COME BACK..
We used to go to Garden of the Gods every summer when we would go to a ranch and stay for a week with our church. My mom’s cousin had a Candle shop at Pikes Peak and would get a candle every year.
I’ve never been up Pikes Peak, I need to do that on one of my trips to Colorado Springs!
I have been a couple of times... once in 1972 when I was eight and 2014 when I was 50. It is beautiful! ❤
Oooh, how cool that you got to experience the park more than 40 years apart!

Thank you so much for watching!
Love love love Garden of the Gods. We stop there every time we visit the parents in CO Springs. My favorite is going early in the morning and seeing all the deer. So beautiful!
I would love to be there early in the morning and experience that! I’m normally there after the crowds have started to arrive

I definitely want to make it up Pikes Peak one of these times!

Seeing a concert at Red Rocks is absolutely on my bucket list!

We are moving to Pueblo next month, we want to try the slopper!
You definitely need to! In fact, you will need to try it from several different places to see who has the best one
@@LeggLife thanks. maybe we will see you around. we love Lake Pueblo!

You started quite the chain reaction! I bet ive given away probably 20+ copies at this point. Thank you!
Wow! Garden of the Gods look amazing!!! Thanks for sharing it!
It really is an amazing place!
Absolutely beautiful!! Thanks for sharing. Prayers and love to your sweet Mom.
It is just one of those places that is overwhelmingly beautiful. Hope you all are well. Miss you!
@@LeggLife we miss you guys as well.
My family went there when we was children and love it and can remember things about it and now I'm 62 years old and still love that place ❤
It’s certainly the kind of place that sticks with you!
It is just beautiful, amazing, spectacular!
Definitely need to add Garden of the Gods to my list of places to visit!
It really is a beautiful place to experience if you’re ever in the area
Just gorgeous. Thanks❤
Looks almost unreal 🤩

Hi Adam, Great Video. The Garden of the God's was AMAZING! Prayers for your moms health, take care and stay safe ❤️ 🙏 👍

There he is. I'm planning on heading to Colorado Springs early next year. Apparently they got some welding jobs.
Think about seeing Bishop’s Castle in Rye Colorado about an hour South of Pueblo now that’s amazing built by one man just research it definitely worth seeing
I absolutely have that on my “must see” list! Hopefully soon I will be able to visit the castle
Adam the Woo just did a video of it. Talked with the owner/builder. Cool place.
Garden of the Gods is stunning 🤩 thanks for sharing it with us!!! Continued prayers for your beautiful mom!!!
Thank you for praying! Glad you enjoyed seeing Garden of the Gods! Thanks for watching
Thank you again for sharing. Hope to one day visit. The scenery is majestic 😍🌻
You’re welcome! Thank you for watching :)
I’ve been to Garden of the Gods with my parents; my dad’s cousin lived in Colo Spgs.
Very cool!
Gorgeous there. Hope mom is doing well.
Thank you!

How cool that you got to live in the CS area for a few years! Yes, alaska is waiting for you! :)
Have not been, but will now!
Excellent! I hope you enjoy it when you get to go!
Never was in Colorado would love to see it.❤
It’s a place that I think everyone should see and experience!
Great video Adam! Thanks- I have never been there.
You have to do Manitou Springs! Right by GoG.
OMG you guys are so funny! I've claimed the same thing (never done before) but with riding a horse drawn carriage through Central Park LOL
Beautiful video, Adam!
We enjoyed visiting the Air Force chapel as well as Garden of the Gods and Pike’s Peak. Very nice town for a family vacation 😊
Prayers for your mom’s healing. 🙏🏼🩷
I definitely want to go to the Air Force chapel. I’ve seen photos and it looks amazing
Please take your mom to sun water spa in Manitou springs 🙏🏼 Manitou has natural spring water. As you know. It is super healing Properties.
Good to know! I will look into it!
Love watching you explore my home state. Spent so much time in the Colorado Springs area growing up. If you ever want to explore the NE part of the state or if you are a Hometown Takeover fan, reach out! So glad to see your mom is doing so well.
I really do want to explore more parts around the state! There is still so much I haven’t seen
Fox Run Park and Palmer Park are great places to visit in Colorado Springs. They do not come close to Garden of the Gods, but they are still worth the drive.
Good to know! I’ve never heard of either of them, so I will need to remember these. Thank you!
Wow it’s beautiful. Thanks for sharing this with us
Thanks for watching!
What a great video. So beautiful.
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it
No way, I live in Alaska also and just got back from there. We also went to pikes peak. It was a welcome relief to the heat.
Pikes peak is on my list for sure!
Added to my list of things to do when I am in CO.
I hope you love it as much as I did!
You should check out the bathrooms at Bancroft Park in Colorado Springs. Not your typical park bathrooms
Whaaaaaat?! Now I’m intrigued
Never been to GOG...it is beautiful...but the warning sign about rattlesnakes might be my drawback! 😮 Eww I hate snakes of any kind! Thanks for sharing and bringing us along. Keeping your Mom in my prayers. Blessings to you both🙏
I hate snakes too, but fortunately I didn’t see any!

Such good tips! Thank you for sharing those!
Were you able to enjoy some Rudy's BBQ while you were visiting Gqrden of the Gods? That place is delicious! 😋
Oooooh, I missed that! I love BBQ, so I need to remember this
@legglife - remember to give your mom lots of hugs and kisses and tell her that you love her every time you see her and before you leave. Trust me you won't regret it.
Don’t worry, those things are absolutely happening :)
❤
You need to go to Bishops Castle
I really want to!
Human memory is fallible, Adam! I applaud your critical thinking skills lol
Ha! It was so funny when I realized that we had indeed been there 🤦🏻♂️
