And since no one has told me that a quilt blog can't go hiking..... are you ready??
We went to Colorado National Monument.
It is West of Grand Junction - over on the western edge of our state.
The views are breathtaking
And my kids are nuts. While that youngest one thought he was being funny - the dad was maybe 15 feet away ready to grab him!!
I just love black and white -
the colors change so much
( and I still pretend I am like Ansel Adams)
The terrain is crazy.
My oldest runs through this area
( like miles - and its all up hill - he is wierd that way)
My guys
Someday - when we look back at these photos - I am going to show them to his kids
And remind them that their dad was a HUGE goof, and to get a photo without goofy faces, bribery is always involved!!!
Scenery is always amazing - but the clouds.... so cool!
I then we headed into the canyons....
I have more photos.....

Great pictures Alycia, love that shot of Mount Garfield with the Grand Mesa in the back. Homesick again, sigh...

Beautiful pictures. Sounds like you had a fun day.

So beautiful!! Have you ever looked at this area from the air? It looks like a huge caldera - I've never seen it from the ground, but from the air it is quite visible. Check out a topographical map... Love the hiking pictures - reminds me of my youth!!
Holy smokes. Some of those views don't even look real...simply amazing! And yes...breathtaking!
Wow, gorgeous scenery!
I'm always reminding DT that I have lots of embarrassing photos for that can make their appearance when she least expects it.
