Colorado National Monument

This was one of the pleasant surprises of the trip. I thought I'd just see a large monument/rock. Instead I was blessed with a gorgeous scenic drive along the rim of a huge canyon with multiple overlooks of the various spires and monuments. I hadn't planned on taking a 45 minute scenic drive, but it was well worth it. 

April, 2023 Road-trip

During the return leg of our 2023 Wave Hike road-trip, I had the family stop for a night in Grand Junction, CO after taking them through the scenic drive through the Colorado National Monument ridge as well as a short walk down to the scenic view at the main visitor center.
