Then it was on to Grand Junction, Colorado. Our first stop was the Colorado National Monument. Don’t pass this one up folks! It was gorgeous, breathtaking, and wondrous all at once. The driving through was lovely, but the walking on the trails was even better. We heard that some people cycle up and down the narrow mountain road, but we opted for the van.
We also were lucky enough to see Randy riding his trike along the Colorado River near the James M. Robb Colorado River State Park where we stayed. We chatted with him about trail and what riding was recommended. He also said he was in a Blues Band that jams every Tuesday night at a local hangout. Since it was Tuesday, we decided this sounded like fun, so we got to enjoy some great music.
The next morning we headed out on a trike ride based on Randy's recommendations. What do you know, he appeared on the trail, and we road 40 miles down and back to the center of Grand Junction on the bike path. A great day!
Check out these photos of the National Monument. Do you have a favorite? At the end I've placed a couple photos of Randy and us...
