American Southwest
Day one started early before sunrise at the Doubletree in Grand Junction, Colorado. We drove 20 miles via the west entrance to Grand View overlooking Independence Monument. We arrived around 6:30 am, waiting for some morning light on a brisk morning.
A weekend at Colorado National Monument and Taylor Park
We took the vanagon for a quick weekend trip over to the western slope when Tessa was about 6 weeks old. We spent a couple of nights at Colorado National Monument and spent one night at Taylor Park Reservoir on our way home.
