Pictures from Colorado National Monument ... This is a scenic and special place!
	Doesn't this rock look like a camel? :)
	This is a really beautiful park. Amongst all the canyons and rock formations, this bird flew all around me and didn't even seem scared!
	Just one of many amazing canyons.
	The great thing about the park is you can hike along the bottom at the base among these formations! I drove along the main road, which was quite impressive, and did not have time to hike.
	I am not sure what kind of bird that is, but it proudly soared through the air! :)
	That's Fruita or Grand Junction is the background. My other pages in the area: Colorado Desert Taco Time (Delta, CO) 1950's Kitchen (Friends in Delta, CO) Black Canyon of the Gunnison N.P. Blue Mesa Reservoir Dallas Divide Mt. Sneffels
	A great shot with some formations, a pristine background and a guy standing with his video camera in the lower left!
	Special thanks to Matt and Jenni in Delta for hosting me!
	I am not sure if you can really grasp how amazing these structures are. I highly recommend visiting in person!
	John Otto is the biggest hero of this park. Over one hundred years ago, Otto created the trails and advocated that the area become a national park. Without Otto's fantastic work, amazing parks like this could have overrun by suburban homes and development.
	Very pretty!

	None of these pictures are in particular order. Just enjoy them. :)
	That huge rock was a lot larger in person! In fact, I couldn't fit the whole thing inside the picture! :)
	A sign.
	It's just an amazing park - a must see!
	I love the dark orange!
	Guys! As I walked through the desert terrain there were lizards that scurried as I walked nearby. Nice-looking lizard! :)
	The next time I go I am definitely going to hike at the bottom of those canyons!
	Just wonderful.
	Have you ever been to Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs? Well multiply that by about 200 with huge canyons and you have Colorado National Monument! :)
	More views.
	If you are in Grand Junction and have the free time, this is the place to visit.
	I am so happy I was able to spend some time in western Colorado. I needed to get away!
	Good photo!
