Colorado National Monument

For us this was an unexpected and unplanned visit.  We had spent the night in Grand Junction instead of heading on into Utah, so Sunday morning as we got started within 10 miles of getting on the interstate we saw a sign for Colorado National Monument.  We were excited to be able to visit another national park/monument that we might not get another chance to see.
This park reminded us alot of our visit to Mesa Verde in that you enter the park and proceed to drive up, up, up.  It wasn't as green but there were beautiful sights to see at the top.

We did the Canyon Rim trail.  This is right along the edge and David had VERY specific instructions about how close to the edge he could go.

So fun to get on last cancellation in our passports before we left Colorado and got home from spring break!
