Sand Dunes is pretty cool to see if it's on the way, but probably not worth a big detour. If you go that way, there's also a civil war era frontier fort between there and Walsenburg. Since you're tight on time, I'd keep the Grand Junction detour, but then stay on I-70 to Denver. If you want to do a 14er, Bierstadt is the easiest to climb. That's around Georgetown. Mt. Elbert is cool, but Bierstadt is really just as good and a lot more convenient. If you're going through Monument Valley and the Colorado Nat'l Monument, Garden of the Gods isn't worth the trip. Plus Colorado Springs is kinda lame to visit. Local tip: if it's hot enough, when you're in GJ you should try to find the potholes. They're kinda hard to find (they have the tiniest sign), and it's a bit of a detour if you're doing the rim road drive along the Monument. It's pretty surreal to find a natural waterslide in the desert. posh spaz fucked around with this message at 11:05 on Jul 31, 2014 |
