Curecanti NRA in the books

Though I would love to go back and explore more of the area.

Black Canyon of the Gunnison

Today I’m taking you to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. Some say they find it more impressive than the Grand Canyon.

Devils Tower, check!

I had been wanting to visit Devils Tower National Monument in Wyoming ever since I visited Devils Postpile in California.

The Monument…again!

I went back to Colorado National Monument a little bit ago and thought I’d create another post to highlight some of the details such as flowers, etc.

Some arches are more golden than others

Yeah. I finally got to visit Arches National Park this last weekend with my friend.

Eastern Colorado: Sand Creek Massacre

Again, Eastern Colorado is not exactly bustling, but there sure is a lot of history attached to the area.

Eastern Colorado: Bent’s Old Fort

As you might expect, there is really not much going on in Eastern Colorado, but you also know I sort of obsess over National Park Service spots… so a visit was in order.

Rocky Mountain National Park day trip

I’m glad we were able to squeeze in and visit the Rocky Mountain National Park before the winter closure.

Carving Colorado

Yeah. I mean the earth does some pretty amazing thing sometimes like carving canyons and stuff.

Florissant Fossil Beds NM

Let’s start with a little bit of etymology just for fun…

Are those old graffiti?

I’ve had the opportunity to see quite a few petroglyphs by now, but the ones at Capitol Reef National Park were especially great.

Beachless dunes…

A couple weeks ago, I went to Great Sand Dunes NP in Southern Colorado.

Badlands NP: just the North Unit because… COVID

The National Park Service is slowly reopening, but the South Unit of Badlands NP is still closed due to Covid-19 in accordance with Oglala Sioux Tribe ordinances.

Checking stuff off the bucket list

We did a thing this past weekend. We drove to Mount Rushmore in South Dakota.

Fort Laramie National Historic Site

I got to visit this back in November. I’m not going to give you a history lesson, but I think you should go on the NPS website and read about this piece of American history.
