Day 23 Colorado National Monument & The Black Canyon of the Gunnison






















































Today was a very busy day....  We left Moab around 5:15 am and headed to the Colorado National Monument.  The drive was mostly in the dark but the early departure was indeed worth it.  The Colorado national Monument is a beautiful place.  We drove the entire rim road up and back taking in all the scenery...  Around 11:15 am we headed for the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park.  Unquestionably, the Black Canyon is truly magnificent.  Unfortunately, it is such a deep canyon, there is no way I could do it justice with photography.  It is best viewed with one's own eyes....  Both places were amazing and made for a great day.  Tomorrow we will take a scenic drive and end up in Farmington, NM.  We will go through Ouray, Silverton and Durango,,,  should be lovely.
