For a few hours on Sunday, Oct. 7, 2018, vehicles were not allowed in Garden of the Gods. A gloomy, crisp morning didn’t keep people away from the park’s second so-called Motorless Morning. Bikers, runners and walkers roamed freely throughout the park, appreciating the landscape and the wildlife—and no one seemed to miss the traffic. 91.5 KRCC’s Abigail Beckman was there and has this audio postcard.

The interviews included in this audio postcard were Lauren Wooten, Stewart Green, Michele McMurray, Carlos Mims, and Vickey Sare.

Garden of the Gods was quiet and less crowded than usual early Sunday morning for Motorless Morning.
