Phew! It has been a LONG couple of years but so glad to be back with you! Hope all is well with you and yours!!
So, what’s in a name? I’ll get to that shortly, but Dead Horse Point State Park, only 13 miles from Canyonlands National Park Island in the Sky, is an often-overlooked gem. Come on along to see the wonder of this very small state park–canyons, cliffs, and the Colorado River.
Finally a Road Trip!!!
Wow, has it been a tough year or what!? I hope you and yours are well and getting back to life as you love it. Needless to say, my traveling came to a screeching halt, but time to be safe and hit the road again. So here we go exploring canyons and mesas in western Colorado. You are going to love this!
We have a five hour trip to Grand Junction to spend four days exploring Colorado National Monument and surrounds. Then heading over Grand Mesa–Part 2 for three days in Cimarron outside Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park which we’ll explore in Part 3. So exciting to be out and about again!
The wonderful thing about getting out for a hike at 6:40am is the golden morning light. It may make some red rocks appear gold, but that only adds to the beauty. Come along for a 3.5 mile hike in Red Rock Canyon Open Space where we will walk through canyons, along fins, and into the scrub oak and pine forest seeing the sights along the way.
Welcome to US-20 in central Wyoming. Time to explore 14-mile Wind River Canyon along this 37-mile Scenic Byway. We will experience canyon walls soaring 2,500 feet above us and canyon width ranging from 200 feet to 2 miles. The beauty and drama of the canyon is only surpassed by the story of the rocks and cliffs which display over 3 billion years of geologic history–yes, B as in bravo. Let’s take a drive through history!
Hold onto your hat!
