We did Colorado National Monument today, including a couple of short, but interesting trails. I'm not trying to keep up with this trip on my blog, but Karen is on hers at Thanks, Donna. I’ve started on the videos and slides for this trip, but I’m not trying to keep up as we go. Too many times away from internet and too many photos to post-process.

My husband said 'but we are on an adventure'! As I got near the top of the first ladder I had a little panic attack and couldn't move. The ranger called down and said that the oldest person to do the complete tour was 92....after that humiliating encouragement I finished the whole 'adventure'!! It is our favorite memory of the park!!!

The ladders didn't scare me, but the 18" wide tunnel sure did! Glad you provided a virtual tour for what I missed! I've got some pics of the Cliff Palace tour on my blog if you're interested in that one http://winnieviews.blogspot.com under (August, 2011).
