Colorado National Monument


This has been on Bob's do-list for at least 10 years: road bike the entire length of Colorado National Monument. This is sort of a mini-Zion, with incredible drop-offs, canyons, red rock formations and hoodoos. The first part is all uphill, about 2000 foot vertical in six miles or so. We did a 35 mile loop.
Here's the whole gang: Mike, Taz, Anna and Bob


The cliffs are huge, as you can see by how small Anna looks (click the pic to enlarge)...

There are many rock formations, such as this cool balancing rock.
