    Tips

    June 6, 2025

    Colorado National Monument is a breathtaking expanse of sheer-walled canyons, towering monoliths, and rugged desert terrain. Established in 1911, it preserves 20,533 acres of the Colorado Plateau, with spectacular rock formations shaped by millions of years of erosion. Rim Rock Drive winds through the monument for 23 miles, with panoramic views and chances to spot bighorn sheep, golden eagles, and coyotes. The park is a haven for hiking, cycling, and photography, with iconic landmarks like Independence Monument, the Kissing Couple, and Coke Ovens.
