After unhooking the car from the coach, we drove over to the visitor center, saw a couple of videos covering the history and beauty of the park, and took a hike down to view the Pipe Organ formation and get a little “flute time” in. Then with the sun showing its last sun beams of the day we decided to drive the 23 miles of the Rim Rock Drive. First off I’d like to compliment the bikers that ride the 23 miles from base to summit to base…amazing !!! The rim drive was advertized as having breath taking views and with enough pull-offs for us, we took advantage of it to see all this beauty. One of the stops was to view Independence Monument. As we were enjoying this monolith our eyes caught sight of 3 climbers that were just about ready to top-out…another “amazing” !!! We watched them for quite awhile but as time and sun were leaving us we decided to head on. As the sun disappeared and darkness arrived we found ourselves pulling into Grand Junction just in time for dinner. Tomorrow we’ll start early and see as much as we can before heading further south.
