Dinosaur National Monument - Colorado's best kept secret

June 25, 2013

A 200,000 acre slice of the finest wilderness in the American west that somehow remains off the radar for all but a few parents taking their kids to see the fossils.

I dream about:

6-year-olds pondering somewhat older artwork in Dinosaur National Monument.

Horseback riding in the Great Sand Dunes, Colorado.

Rock climbing, Rocky Mountain National Park.

Crossing a tyrolean traverse in the Indian Peaks.

Ice climbing on the Diamond, Longs Peak.

Powder skiing in Canada.

Avoiding near misses.

Playing silly games.

Making days memorable.
