Colorado National Monument
Colorado National Monument was a pleasant surprise, but only a surprise at all because of how little research I did before my trip out west in 2019. When I pulled into Grand Junction, Colorado, I called a friend to ask what there was to see in the area, and this was the immediate response. It’s practically in Grand Junction. It took about an hour to drive through the park on Rimrock Drive from the south to the north, much of the drive hugging the canyon edge on right side of the car.

- Coke Evans Overlook (Colorado National Monument) View Location This bit is exemplary of Colorado National Monument. There are numerous stops along the way to get out and sit on the edge of the canyon. If you look closely, you'll notice a trail leading out through the middle of the canyon below. The trailhead was somewhere around where this video was shot.
