Colorado National Monument

 An afternoon of very short walks and looking down into canyons. We saw two more big horn sheep right near the start of the Monument Canyon trail.

Mt Garfield

 One of the harder hikes of the trip and only 4 miles RT. The trail starts by going up fast on a strange fin of ? that is hard yet sandy in the middle where people have walked on it. 6 feet wide with big drop offs on both sides. Gets your heart rate up fast! Then scrambling up to the first flat area. After the second flat area there is another drop off area as you walk along the base of a cliff. We saw four big horn sheep in the second flat area. The top is flat but you can look over the edge to the base 2000 feet below. There is a flag at the top on a large pole that someone got up there somehow. One of those hikes that you can't tell how you will get to the top when you are viewing it from the bottom.
