WHY are giant rocks so irresistible???? I’ve been pondering this for three days now.
From these breathtaking, knife-edged monoliths casually lounging practically in our friends’ Colorado Springs backyard…
The Garden of the Gods is just a city park!
…to the gloriously tempting caprock ledges of Mesa Verde…
The Mate skirts the edge…
But I gotta go right to it!
…to the hopelessly delicious sandstone of Navajo Country…
Must…climb!
…I am in awe. There are these Rockies…
Pikes’s Peak at sunrise, from our friends’ window
Looking back toward Durango from atop Mesa Verde National Park
…and then there are these, and what they do to me I’m still trying to understand.
Is it their smoothness? Their age? Their color? Their…? I give up.
I LOVE getting to share your trip…many thanx
I’ve enjoyed having you along!
