Paint Mines, Calhan, CO

I'd heard of the Paint Mines several years ago from fellow photographer Bob Volpe, but had never investigated beyond that until recently.

The Paint Mines are a cluster of eroded "hoodoos", similar to Bryce Canyon in Utah. They are located near Calhan, CO on Paint Mines Rd (what else?), just off the Calhan Highway south of town. They are now part of the El Paso County Parks system.

Trails lead all through the formations and you could easily spend half a day photographing.
