Colorado National Monument


I
We left Denver later than we planned, but we made it to the scenic Monument Road before the sun completely set for the day.

The view was spectacular as we drove the 30 odd miles through the canyon area.  We didn't get to see a Big Horn Sheep despite the sheep crossing sign, but we found a prickly pear cactus with bunny dining upon said cactus, ouch,  and a tiny little lizard! The trees were knurled an fascinating and the dirt was red and soft. We even saw insane bikers going up the 1000ft elevation. 
Just don't look to the right as you drive on some of the hairpin turns as you go on the edge!
