Vanna gets high!

Leaving Arches NM in Utah, we turned back east to begin our return trip. We drove through Colorado National Monument without stopping for long. Vanna was such a good traveler! Here you can see the high mountains she climbed to take us up to the view of Grand Junction, Colorado, in the distant valley. The tall formation you can see is called Independence Monument, resembling the tower of Independence Hall in Philadelphia.

Yep, more red rocks. We never seemed to tire of the beautiful views. Photos don't do them justice--you've just gotta be there!
