Where we will be spending our next five to six days! Today we are making a stop at Colorado National Monument before we head to Ft. Collins.
We spent about six hours in the car before we got here, and didn't see much civilization. There was a strip of 110 miles where we saw absolutely nothing. The landscape was pretty interesting, though. We would go through the mountains, then dip into absolute desert, and then we would be back in the mountains again. It was pretty neat, but the desert part looked the exact same as the drive between the Grand Canyon and Zion. We're both looking forward to being in the mountains.
The view from our campsite is pretty spectacular. You can see all of the town below us (The picture follows). We have everything set up and we're about to head off to the visitors center to look at the different trails. Most likely we will be hiking down to window rock since the trailhead is right by are camp (and we're right above balanced rock!). But its still up in the air depending on what the park ranger says.
One thing is for sure: My legs are ready to soak in a hot tub.
