May June 2011, New Mexico to BC, Part 2b Colorado

Colorado National Monument
Colorado National Monument
Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area
Sheep Creek Canyon

Colorado

After testing the hot pools at Pagosa Springs, we headed to Durango and took the train ride to Silverton. The snow pack increased as we approached Silverton and certainly added to the beauty of the passage. The weather was poor while we were at the Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP, but improved considerably at Colorado National Monument. This was our first visit here and we found the rock formations quite impressive. If you get to Flaming Gorge NRA, don’t miss the drive though Sheep Creek Canyon. It’s almost like driving through the Grand Canyon.
