Back in Colorado! Colorado National Monument is this crazy canyon rim drive just over the border. Looked for more bighorn sheep in both canyons actually, but was unsuccessful in finding any blending in with the rock walls! Jane told me I had to go to Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park if it would fit into my drive plan and wow was she right! The walls are sheer drops down to the river below – you can’t even see the river from some of the overlooks because it’s so steep and narrow. Staying at Big B’s Delicious Orchards tonight – the cider actually was really good (very apple-y, just like I like it) and their motto is “Chop wood. Raise Chickens. Drink cider.” which is pretty great.
