Colorado Road Trip, 2022

Let the Epic Colorado road trip begin.  After at least a year of planning our camping adventure, the time has finally come to hook up and head out. Our road trip/camping adventure was going to lead us west thru the vineyards and peach trees of Palisade into the high plateaus of Grand Junction and the Colorado National Monument.  Winding south we will venture into the some of the steepest cliffs, oldest rock and jagged spires at Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. But, that’s not all to see and do during this week of our southwest Colorado adventure. Next up, Ouray, The Switzerland of America. This high alpine town setting at 7,800 feet is just a stepping stone to extreme mountain adventure. However, we are now only half way thru the week and as we continue to head south, stops to mining towns and hot springs are still waiting to be explored. Because this week is so full of wander, we will be breaking down each destination. If we didn’t, the blog post would be like 20 pages. 

So, let’s go wandering to Southwestern Colorado.
