Postcard Caption:

THE BALANCED ROCK is one of the wonders of the Pike's Region. It is located just west of the Garden of the Gods in the section of peculiar rock formation known as Mushroom Park. The huge boulder weighing many tons rests of a base of but a few feet seemingly almost ready to topple but continues to stand.

The Interweb says the formation has been reinforced with concrete, but still stands (as of December 2010).
