More at House Creek & SW Colorado

May 2010 - House Creek Campground was a favorite and we stayed here for 9 days while exploring the SW region of Colorado. The scenery and wildlife was terrific. Views from the front window of the coach.


A great hike in the Canyon of the Ancients National Monument is Sand Canyon. It is a beautiful trek through red sandstone canyons with cliff dwellings that are tucked away in places that you “discover” as you go. We felt like the first people to find these places since they were remote and no one else was there. A surreal experience.

We did come upon a resident who wasn’t too happy to see us.
Before we left the area we took a very long day trip into Utah to see the Valley of the Gods which is a miniature version of Monument Valley. It was a crude, dusty road with the most spectacular views of sandstone monuments.
