Over on the western slope, you will find the Colorado National Monument, east of Grand Junction, and Dinosaur National Monument north of there. I assume you'll be traveling on I-80, I-76, and I-70, that will take you through Denver, and the ski country in the Mountains. After you clear the mountains, you will be in Glenwood Canyon, and the Colorado River valley all the rest of the way. We are in Loveland, north of Denver. Rocky Mountain National Park is just west of us! Seeing a wild Hawkdancer may take a bit of searching, though! I understand he is in the midst of a group of strange beings, who are burning charcoal from smoke poles at the NMLRA Colorado Territorial shoot in Ft Lupton, CO, completing Range Safety Officer training! By all means, give a call if you have time! I will pm you my phone number and email! I expect to be done with the training tomorrow or Sunday,, we should around on Monday. Have a safe and fun trip, it is about a 16-18 hour drive.
