Monument Park
situated N. of Colorado Springs in El Paso co., Col.
Though small in extent, the park has many claims of interest, because of the natural stone columns rising 15 to 25 feet from the ground. They are composed of sandstone and are capped by a firm ferruginous sandstone which joins the pillars in pairs and groups. The effects of the weather and erosions of time have given some of the columns a rough resemblance to fantastic figures of human shape, some striking and grotesque.
