Massive Beer Garden
The name of the park dates back to August 1859 when two
surveyors helping to set up nearby Colorado City were
exploring the nearby areas. Upon discovering the site, one of
the surveyors, M. S. Beach, suggested that it would be a
"capital place for a beer garden." His companion, the young
Rufus Cable, awestruck by the impressive rock formations,
exclaimed, "Beer Garden! Why it is a fit place for the gods to
assemble. We will call it the Garden of the Gods." The beer
garden never materialized, but the name stuck.
Brent and Sawyer were in heaven climbing everything and we
all enjoyed the amazing scenery.
