Colorado Monument

The last place we hit before we headed home was the Colorado Monument. As we were driving through it we were absolutely amazed at how spectacular it was. We were all wondering why in the world it wasn't a National Park. We asked someone at the visitor's center, and they said it had a lot to do with politics. It isn't quite big enough to be a National Park and extending the borders would make certain people quite irate. Anyhow it was awesome!
