View to West of the southern Front Range, from Palmer Park. From left to right, summits are Cheyenne Mountain, Mount Rosa, Almagre Mountain, and Pikes Peak. Crystalline rocks form the rock at high elevations, from cliff front to summits, and clastic rocks underlie the urban areas, Garden of the Gods, Red Rock Canyon park, and the gradual ramp that rises to the cliff break.
