Colorado Springs
Garden of the Gods / Kissing Camels
Scenic private/resort golf
Kissing Camels is more about setting and access than pure architecture. The red-rock and mountain backdrop is excellent, the facility is private/resort-oriented, and it works best as a polished supporting round for groups staying there or able to secure access.

Kissing Camels is a beautiful red rock formation that has formed itself for over millions of years. Thats very cool in itself. My wife lived it. Greatest thing is, there's a bunch more mountain formations to look at. They're all awesome to walk around and look at. Don't see those

This place is absolutely incredible!!! I took a lot of pictures, but I'll share a few of my favorites. It's such a beautiful place to see and to be in. I was in awe of its beauty. I'll definitely want to return.

Great spot to visit, lots of trails and visitor friendly. We go drive through every time we are in Colorado Springs. Just can't say enough about the views.
