September 21 and 22, 2014
The route from Moab, UT to Montrose, CO took us through scenery like that of a national park. Stunning. The side trip to Telluride took us about an hour. It was kind of a wasted hour (and 30 miles) but the ride through the canyon to get there was beautiful. We ate our brown bag lunch in a county park along a river in the canyon.
Our room at the Red Arrow Inn in Montrose was not ready for us when we arrived about two o'clock so we drove the 14 miles to the Park. The rangers in the visitors center gave us tips on the best hikes and car trips. Hikes took place on 9/22.
This canyon was different from all the other ones we had seen. Phil ranked it as one of the most impressive of them all.
