This is the Monument Canyon Trail starting from the upper trailhead. Today was a mix of clouds and sun. It rained some the past few days and you could see where the water had recently been running down the canyon walls. Nice to be out in the cooler 50 degree weather.
We have been here before and hope to be here again. This trail follows the Gunnison River for the first mile and then heads up a canyon that has a creek that usually has running water. It looked like it rained a fair amount here last week. Waterfalls, canyon walls, petroglyphs, and water access. Something to see all the time. We went about a half mile beyond the newspaper rock for a total of 7 miles. There are two other trails to try in this area some day.
