Day 12 – south into Colorado

Today’s leg is not too long, so I can start late … meaning at 10am.

Heading into to late morning sun (therefore SE) enjoying the fresh air and recognizing…

Fog rising behind cliffs – see first highlight.

Highlights today:

Short stop at Dinosaur National Monument. But not spending time for a tour (done this decades ago – therefore only seconds related to the age of the bones).

But the cliffs and mountains are still gorgeous.

Hwy 139 climbing up to the Douglas Pass …

… and going down.

From Grand Junction – the point you more or less always pass when cruising the southwest – the direction is again south to enter the Colorado National Monument.
