Right again! Black Canyon of the Gunnison this time.
Over a half-mile vertical drop at its deepest point to the Gunnison River below.
Now try to guess where we are
Cimarron
From Yampa River through Craig, and south through Meeker. Turn left at Rifle, right at Glenwood Springs. Right again at Carbondale, through Redstone, past Marble. Over McClure Pass, through Somerset, Paonia and Hotchkiss. Left at Delta, through Olatha, left at Montrose, and here we are at a cabin just outside Cimarron. Pleasant Valley.

We drove through temperatures as low as 50 degrees and as high as 100 today. It’s cool and nice here.

We call it “Evening light through the edge of the tent set up in fresh grass”. 😊
Try to guess where we are today!
That’s right! Dinosaur National Monument in Northeastern Utah, Northwestern Colorado.

One of the things they have preserved is a giant wall of bones. It’s an ancient stream bed that gathered A LOT of bones, then got uplifted and turned on its side. It’s a solid wall of fossilized dinosaur bones, left undisturbed.
Cool Place.
Without a trace!
Well, almost.
We’ve gone from St Vrain State Park and driven through the Colorado High Country.
Highway 14 through Walden and Steamboat Springs. Highway 40 to Yampa River State Park. Cameron Pass, Rabbit Ears Pass, and the Continental Divide.
To Yampa River State Park.
