Amazing views and no one in site.

We stopped here on a roadtrip back to Denver as it was close to grand junction but far enough to feel secluded and boy I am happy we did. It’s on ridge line so the views are as expected - gorgeous. Perhaps a little windy but nothing to write home about. Would stop again in a heartbeat. FYI- some great bouldering right near by on the return road to grand junction!
