Colorado's Best Kept Colorful Secret! The Paint Mines

Colorado's Best Kept Colorful Secret! The Paint Mines

The Paint Miles 30 miles east of Colorado Springs is a state park that most Colorado residents have never heard of or visited and that’s a shame because it is a gem! Prehistoric Native Americans used clay from the park to paint pottery and for ceremonial purposes. The park is small (750 acres) and contains grassland, geological formations of hoodoos, colored clay and sandstone-capped spires.

    So the country/state thought it would be a WONDERFUL idea to install "Power Lines" through this area… Well, that is to be expected from a deplorable Democrat State filled with bad people in general.
