Wild West Trip: Day 10 - Moab to Grand Junction, CO
The
next morning we took a walk around the shops in Moab. One shop included
some of the rare dinosaur bones that have been uncovered in the area
that I noted on in a previous blog entry.
See the photo below. The
large stone at left is part of a dinosaur leg. We meandered around town
for awhile then hitched up the RV and headed across the border into
Colorado.
In
Grand Junction, Colorado
we stopped in at the Junction
West RV Park for an overnight stay to check our email, and to do our
laundry. We met some nice folks who were just getting started RVing.
Besides being the largest city in between Salt Lake City and Denver,
Grand Junction is home to the Colorado National Monument, a spectacular
display of red sandstone covering 23,000-acres. We were surprised at the
many views and formations along the 23-mile Rim Rock Drive. Look for
more on the Colorado
National Monument in our next segment.
