Some places are particularly photogenic, they produce quintessential Colorado images.
Scenic Locations Garden of the Gods is an incredible city park in Colorado Springs. The rock formations are photogenic regardless of the season, however during the months of July, August and September, Pikes Peak is often without snow and does not enhance compositions. The best lighting occurs at sunrise and during the first 30 minutes thereafter. I strongly recommend scouting locations throughout the park in advance of shooting. It has both paved and dirt trails.
