Welcome to Colorado National Monument in
Grand Junction, CO!
Here in one of the tunnels we went through
while in the Monument.
Balanced Rock: a 600 ton boulder perched
atop a pedestal.
Another interesting geological feature.
I call this the Swiss Cheese effect. Erosion
has created these holes in the rock.
You know I am happy when I am on the road!
Coke Ovens: a series of colorful rock domes
created by the natural sculpting forces of
wind, water and ice. You can see it is cloudy.
In the sun these would be brilliant.
One of the many amphitheaters found in the Monument.
We are told that they are hoping the National Park
Service will soon make this a National Park.
Ute Canyon.
Check out the long drop off the edge!
My artsy photo for the day.
This is called a canyon in a canyon.
Pinion pines along the rim of the canyon.
A parting shot of Colorado National Monument.
Finally got some blue sky!
