North Gateway Rock's Tourist Gully

The Tourist Gully on North Gateway Rock as seen from the top of Montezuma's Tower. The gully is so named because of the numerous tourists who have scrambled up it and had to be rescued when they couldn't climb back down. I've used it to access the highpoint of South Gatewaty Rock and it is little more than an easy scramble. The Red and White Twin Spires can also be seen in front of the gully. They both hold several moderate climbing routes. Garden of the Gods, Colorado. June 2009.
