Colorado National Monument - Park Travel Review
Colorado National Monument is located in Western Colorado, near the Utah border. The Rim Rock Drive is about 25 miles long and has many stops and pullouts along the way. This was our first trip to the area and we were delighted to spend some of our time there.
During our day int eh park, we took in several of the short trails and got an overview of some of the formations and monuments in the park. A favorite is Independence Monument. We got an overlook of it from Otto's Trail. I ti the track that John Otto took on his first accent of the Monument.
More information on John Otto from the NPS Site: Otto spearheaded fundraising campaigns, collected signatures for petitions, and penned newspaper editorials and endless letters to Washington politicians in support of national recognition for the ancient canyons and towering monoliths of his adopted home.
We had a wonderful time exploring Colorado National Monument and the area around Fruita, Colorado. This NPS site is a Must do if you are traveling on I-70.

Colorado National Monument. Colorado, United States
Colorado national monument, Colorado, United States 2005
Colorado National Monument (locally referred to as The Monument) is a National Park Service unit near the city of Grand Junction, Colorado. Spectacular canyons cut deep into sandstone, and even granite–gneiss–schist, rock formations. This is an area of desert land high on the Colorado Plateau, with pinion and juniper forests on the plateau. The park hosts a wide range of wildlife, including red-tailed hawks, golden eagles, ravens, jays, desert bighorn sheep, and coyotes.[3] Activities include hiking, horseback riding, road bicycling, and scenic drives; a visitor center on the west side contains a natural history museum and gift shop. There are magnificent views from trails and the Rim Rock Drive, which winds along the plateau. Nearby are the Book Cliffs and the largest flat-topped mountain in the world, the Grand Mesa.
Its feature attraction is Monument Canyon, which runs the width of the park and includes rock formations such as Independence Monument, the Kissing Couple, and Coke Ovens. The monument includes 20,500 acres (32 square miles), much of which has been recommended to Congress for designation as wilderness.

Ice Cave Rd. Monument, CO. Solo. #41
Ice Cave Rd is a trail near Monument, CO off of Rampart Range Rd that has some amazing campsites along the way and a bunch at the dead end. It's an easy trail that has another trail (fsr 324) intersecting it more than halfway through. You can take Ice Cave to the end and then backtrack a little and take 324 back out to Rampart Range which is what I did. Have fun!
T-Shirts and Crew Neck:
If you like the content and have the means consider helping me out on Patreon! I'm fine with the work but unfortunately everything costs money to maintain. As this (hopefully) grows I will have real rewards and benefits for the patrons. Thank you so much!
My Tire Deflators:
These tire deflators have many $15 copies but the others just don't hold up or are inaccurate. I don't know what the deal is, they look identical to me too but read the reviews- they're bad. I've been using these Staun's for over a year and never had a problem, I air down a lot. Set them at the trail so your tires will be the same temp when you get to the trail next time.
My Compressor:
There are better ones but I'd just get a bigger VIAIR, not someone different. Airs up all my 33's from 14psi to 37psi in less than 10 minutes. The in-line gauge is inaccurate when the compressor is on because of the pressure passing through. You need to switch it off to get a real reading. You can combat this by figuring out what incorrect reading corresponds to the real one. When mine is right at 3 Bar (43psi) it's slightly over 37psi. I put it on another tire and then use my real gauge to set it exactly.
My Microphone:
My microphone is the worst good mic you can get. BUT don't be fooled, it's a very good mic. Picture me getting in my car for the 50th time after I just ran up and down a hill... for the 50th time. Do you see me disconnecting my mic and gingerly setting it in some sort of nice case? No. It stays connected to the tripod, gets thrown into my all plastic cargo area and bounces around with other heavy items until the next one. It gets terrible interference from WiFi so you must make sure that it's off on your camera or phone. If you are trying to use this with your phone you need to get a TRS to TRRS cable which RODE makes. This is required because your phone will think the mic is headphones.
My Tripod:
As mentioned, I'm hard on the entire setup. I went through 2 tripods in 1 month, a $20 and a $30. Buy it nice or buy it thrice. This thing gets opened and closed MANY times per week in rain, snow, dirt, and even in the middle of rivers. I love the 2-stage legs so i can make it real low in 2sec instead of shortening all the legs.
My Drone:
The Mavic, I think it's fantastic. You can tell how easy it was to progress through my videos. Besides maybe five times, you've seen every bit of flying since I got it. I don't fly in the city and I don't go to the mountains and not make a video. It is VERY easy to use. Took a little bit to get the settings dialed in but I learned everything I know on YouTube.
My Drone ND Filters:
The filters are a must. Again I have the worst ones and I am still very pleased. My first use was video #35 and I think it is very apparent. Illinois Gulch (#34 obviously) has a completely white sky, way too much blue. I'm still not even good about selecting the right one or changing them out but it's 10x better than nothing.
My Books:
CO
CO North
Moab
FunTreks books are great. I like to bring as much information as possible when I go to the middle of nowhere. There's also no substitute for books or maps. Unless you drop them in the fire, they're going to work. They have coordinates and maps for everything, very in-depth info on sturdy pages.
This is the stuff I've tested, this is what I like. I am very hard on all of my equipment frequently and it still works. I back all of these items and each company seems to back their product very well too. I guess it's easy to offer a warranty when your stuff doesn't break.

Riding Karst Loop. Return to the Monument Mountain Bike Trails, Hobbs State Park, Northwest Arkansas
Earlier this year, Matt and I rode Wolf Den Loop and the Downhill Trails of the Monument Trails System at Hobbs State Park. Well, we've returned to clean up what we didn't catch before: The beautiful Karst Loop. It's at the back end of the trail system and it skirts the shoreline of Beaver Lake in northwest Arkansas. It was a blast.

Elephant Rock, Nature's Monument, Colorado
Hiking and climbing on my dear friend's land, Wyley Cotton, and the spectacular rock formation and natural sandstone arch called Elephant Rock. I grew up just up the street on Capella Drive in Monument, Colorado, and as kids we used to hike around on Elephant Rock and each other's land. In Colorado is where I gained a great appreciation of Nature, the Earth, and formed my Earthian consciousness. Truly sacred Earth blessed by Gaia and all her riches.
A Drive Through Colorado National Monument
You'll find the best scenery in Grand Junction at Colorado National Monument, overlooking the valley and the western front of the Colorado Rockies. This drive takes you into the park from Fruita, all the way through to the other end, then on to Grand Junction.

I made this trip in January 2018. Video shot with a Brinno TLC-200 Pro time-lapse camera mounted on my roof with a homemade magnetic case. I travel with two Brinno cameras - one facing forward, the other in reverse. Sometimes the reverse camera captures better video (fewer raindrops and bugs hit the rear-view lens).

ABOUT COLORADO NATIONAL MONUMENT
Located near Fruita and Grand Junction in Colorado, Colorado National Monument preserves one of the grand landscapes of the American West. But this treasure is much more than a monument. Towering monoliths exist within a vast plateau and canyon panorama. You can experience sheer-walled, red rock canyons along the twists and turns of Rim Rock Drive, where you may spy bighorn sheep and soaring eagles.
Plateaus and canyons, erosion-created masterpieces, the Colorado River, short hikes, back country hikes, a 23-mile rim rock drive, camping, picnicking, bicycling, and rock climbing are all awaiting the visitor.
The national monument is pleasantly scenic, not one of the major attractions of the Southwest, but well worth visiting for at least a few hours. The cliffs are made of Entrada/Wingate/Kayenta sandstone layers in various shades of red and white and so the canyons are similar to others in nearby states, especially Canyon de Chelly in Arizona and parts of Canyonlands in Utah.
The establishment of the national monument in 1911 was largely due several years of campaigning by one man, John Otto, who explored the canyons and single-handedly built many miles of trails through the area.
There is one paved road through Colorado National Monument, beginning south of Grand Junction - just 4 miles from the town center, this flat city street (Broadway, later Monument Road) crosses the Colorado River, passes the entrance gate and becomes steep and twisting, round many 15 mph corners and through one tunnel, as it ascends the towering red cliffs. The road (now the Rim Rock Drive) then follows the edge of the Uncompahgre Plateau for 20 miles, giving access to 16 major viewpoints and seven trailheads. Towards the north end it passes the main visitor center and camping area, before winding down equally steeply, through two more tunnels, and eventually re-crossing the Colorado River into Fruita.
That’s just a small part of the adventure and beauty you’ll find here in this beautiful National Park Service unit!

Colorado National Monument (USA) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Colorado National Monument in The USA.
On the western edge of the state of Colorado and close to the city of Grand Junction and the village of Fruita, is the Colorado National Monument, one of the most fascinating areas in the United States Of America.From the twenty three mile long Rim Rock Drive there is a magnificent view across the eroded rock walls of the mighty canyons. Fir, juniper and mahogany trees form the main vegetation on the high plateaus that are located above the sparsely covered canyons. The amazing rock walls plunge down almost three hundred metres to the bottom of the dried out canyons below that are dominated by typical desert vegetation. There is a kind of magic here, a special feeling: and it is easy to become enchanted by this truly amazing region that has been sculpted by the natural forces of nature.
