Landform

Uptilted Fountain Formation sandstone fins on the edge of the plains. The Gateway frames Pikes Peak in the gap.

Field note

The Gateway is the picture everyone means — two red walls and Pikes Peak standing in the slot. The fins are 300 million years of sand stood on end by the rise of the Front Range.
