Having seen the Colorado Monument from Rimrock Drive only, we were both itching to get down and hike in the valley. We opted for a 5 mile round trip hike to Independence Monument. You gain about 500' on the 2 1/2 mile ascent which we didn't think sounded to bad. It turns out that you gain most of that in less than a mile, so we were breathing pretty hard during that stretch. Joe Sallot, we wish you would put this hike on your list this year!!

Okay! Who knocked that slice of Rock down?
Did we see this rocks spire in another post?
What a great place. Wish I could add this hike. Might not be doing any hiking. Having a lot of knee problems. Been laid up all summer. Enjoy as many hikes as you can. Nice hat and canteen.
Love seeing the USA thru your eyes (and knees).
Joe Sallot Sorry to hear your still having knee trouble. Hope your better soon!! Dagmar's knee still gives her trouble off and on, too.
Bill Boyce Yes, you saw it from Rimrock Drive, part of John Otto's heart of the monument picture.
Looks like y'all are really enjoying retirement :))
