Boring drive leads to this…😍😍

The drive to this place was so incredibly long and boring.. but it was absolutely worth visiting!

📍Paint Mines Interpretative Park, Calhan, CO

🚙 It’s about a 45 minute drive from Colorado Springs

💰 This is a FREE park!

The paint mines have evidence of human life as far back as 9,000 years ago. The park features fantastic geological formations including spires and hoodoos that form through erosive action that creates incised gullies and exposed layers of selenite clay and jasper. The park includes a restroom facility, four miles of trails, interpretive signage, and many natural wonders.

Are you adding the paint mines to your travel list?
