Colorado National Monument, locally known as “the monument”, is 20,533-acre natural space that was established in 1911. The desert land can be found high on the Colorado Plateau and is full of sheer-walled canyons and marvelous granite and sandstone rock formations. If you’re an ornithology aficionado then bring along a pair of binoculars as you’re sure to see ravens, golden eagles, red-tailed hawks, and many more species of resident and migratory birds. You can choose to explore the area via a scenic drive or spend your time hiking, bicycling, horseback riding, or camping. Their visitor center also contains a museum dedicated to local natural history and a gift shop.
