Colorado National Monument, Thanksgiving 2013

Trail Head:Colorado National Monument is just outside of Gran Junction so gaining access is pretty close to I70. There is a $10 park fee to get in and the start of this trail is about 15 minutes past the main entrance. Notes:This was about half way home from Capital Reef NP in Utah so, we stopped for a day of hiking. The first half mile of trail is super steep but was really neat. It had stairs carved out of rocks and lots of little switch backs. The rest of the hike was relatively flat and took us all the way to "Kissing Couple" the rock formation in the picture. This was a great hike and we'd consider doing it again.
