The Twin Spires are two short towers in-between the iconic North and South Gateway Rocks in the center of Garden of the Gods. One unique feature of the Twin Spires is that they are two different colors (red and white) of sandstone! They are also popular with rock climbers. On most nice days you will see rock climbers ascending these short, but sweet, towers.
