Our first stop on the way was Arches National Park. We spent most of the day hiking 7.2 miles in a place called Devil's Garden. It was absolutely gorgeous and believe-it-or-not rather technical while climbing over the sandstone "fins." Our day concluded at Colorado National Monument where we camped for the night. A beautiful camp spot at Saddlehorn campground featured Utah juniper trees, Mormon tea bushes, Great Horned Owl and nighthawk calls. A short hike yesterday morning led us to similar Sandstone geology and a place called the Devil's Kitchen.
Traffic on I-70 toward Denver was a bear yesterday!
We made it to Goodland, Kansas for a nice stay at our favorite hotel chain, MOTEL 6!!! Woo hoo. I guess we'll try to get to Missouri today. Pictures are on the way...
