Colorado National Monument

Just out of Grand Junction, CO on I-70 almost at the border with Utah is the Colorado National Monument. Many years ago my folks told me this was a must see. And then I read “The Serpents Trail” by Sue Henry and watched the movie “American Flyers” which features a bike race in the Monument and knew it truly was something I had to see. The road twists along the edge of Monument Mesa with fantastic views of the valley, the canyons in the Monument and the rock sculptures. Wonderful colors.

Dollars saved on this trip with Park Pass: $141.00 + 7 = $148.00
