Repeatability

 Pierrot and I loved visiting Colorado Nat. Monument,because it is small,rugged with few visitors who bypass this little treasure on their way to Moab or Canyon Lands in Utah. Enter the park by car east in Grand Junction. It's a mighty high narrow 23 mile route with dramatic look-outs. Near the visitor centre the trail you have to do is Monument Canyon Trail, 6 miles in toto, first mile steep descent -not difficult-, the rest beautiful walk at the bottom of canyon. Admire Coke Ovens monoliths, around the 3 mile corner the Kissing Couple Rock and Independence Rock. Great vista camping on premise
