Colorado National Monument

"I came here last year and found these canyons and they feel like the heart of the world to meÉ"

   - John Otto, May 1907

The bold, angular landscape of Colorado National Monument is a combination of canyons, cliffs, plateaus and mesas. It is a slice of the great Uncompahgre Plateau with layers of color, time and wildness.
