National Monument - Colorado

Colorado National Monument - Scenic Escarpment

John's Comments Great time to spend half a day viewing the escarpment with various formations that are now known by their own names. One could get quite close to the ledges and there are many places to stop and view and take pictures.

John`s Recollections - 2009

The 20+ mile drive along the escarpment in Colorado National Monument provides many opportunities for scenic picture taking and views of Grand Junction below. Many of the formations have specific names that have been given over years of history.
