Getting Boxed In at the Alcove Nature Trail: Colorado National Monument CO
One of our favorite places to visit is Grand Junction, CO. There you can enjoy the Colorado and Gunnison Rivers, see the Book Cliffs in the distance, and visit a true treasure: Colorado National Monument. There are many hiking and biking trails. Some are short and easy. Some are long and go into the back country. The views from The Monument are incredible, especially along the trails that skirt the edge of the rim overlooking the Colorado River valley.
We chose Alcove Nature trail because the daytime temperatures had been so hot. That's why we went early in the day. We also chose it because it was short and offered some shade. Nancy had spent a lot of time in the sun the day before and was pretty sunburned on her shoulders. People will often overlook the short trails thinking there's nothing to see. But the two short hikes we took that July 7th (the other being Otto's Trail) offered incredible scenery and spectacular views.

We travel in a 2019 Toyota RAV4 XLE front-wheel drive with over 90,000 miles. We are still praying for a small Scamp or an Aliner to tow behind it.
