The Grand Finale of our trip was indeed Grand: just outside of Grand Junction is the Colorado National Monument www.nps.gov/ . It’s a 23,000 acre wonderland of shadowed canyons, soaring rock pillars and almost two billion years of earth history carved in sandstone. Jennifer Grossheim Harris from Grand Junction CVB guided us along Rim Rock Drive, a road through the Monument whose every twist and turn reveals a stunning vista, an inviting trail, a patchwork glory of light and shadows cast on the awesome scenery. As I sat on the edge of a canyon breathing in the solitude of this spectacular place, I understood why Colorado calls to so many visitors in so many different ways. Heed the call and plan a trip to this heart of the American West.
