A Stroll at Cold Shivers Point: Colorado National Monument
Somedays you take it easy and just want a lazy, do nothing type of day. Unfortunately, that's not me and Nancy. We like to stay busy, especially when we travel. We figure we only have a small window of opportunity so we try and make the most of each minute.
On this day we decided to take an evening stroll at Cold Shivers Point Overlook in Colorado National Monument. From Grand Junction take the east entrance and follow the road to the first parking lot past the tunnel. It's a small, intimate parking area that has a paved, handicap-accessible walkway that leads to the overlook. The overlook area is fenced-in for your protection, but the views are spectacular. It's 300 feet straight down to the canyon floor and, if you look straight down over the railing, it can give you "cold shivers" or intense vertigo. To the left is the back end of the canyon and to the right the canyon opens up to view the town of Grand Junction and The Bookcliffs in the distance.
If your footing is unsure, or you have children, the fenced-in area is for you. But I like the "road less travelled" so Nancy and I walked along the edge of the rim. There was a slight breeze and the evening temperature was perfect for a stroll. We did not intend to take lots of pictures or videos...this was a time to slowdown and relax. I wish I would have brought some chairs to set-up and watch the sun go down, but I didn't. Maybe next time.
