Pulpit Rock From Below

This week's Skywatch Friday posts contains some photos from a hike I took on Sunday up Pulpit Rock, which is one of many parks in the city of Colorado Springs. These photographs show the rock from below - Socks and I made it to the top, and I'll have other assorted photos later. The weather was beautiful - a few clouds, warm but not too hot. This first shot is looking south towards Pulpit Rock.
The next one was taken part way up, looking at the very top.
And finally, after descending on the other side, here's a photo looking back towards it (looking north).
For more upward-looking photos, visit the Skywatch Friday meme.
