Siamese Twins In Garden of the Gods

Siamese Twins Trail

The quality of my photos on this page are rather poor. In fact, I'm embarrassed by them, but they do the job of showing the Siamese Twins in Garden of the Gods.

The Siamese Twins is a lesser-visited site that doesn't get anywhere near the large crowds of tourist traffic like other parts of the park.

Garden of the Gods The trail from the parking lot is only about a ten minute walk.
Garden of the Gods Garden of the Gods The rocks, shaped like siamese twins, with Pikes Peak in the background.

Photography is probably best in the morning, when the sun is coming from the east. I showed up around 4 p.m. and did my best with the silhouette effects.

Pikes Peak Again, lighting was fairly poor. A zoom-in of Pikes Peak.

Garden of the Gods
The ground is very dry and like clay. In fact, notice how crumbly some of the red dirt is in the second photo.

Walk up a ridge beside the Siamese Twins and you'll get a nice view of the larger rock structures, including the Kissing Camels.
