Colorado National Monument was a special surprise that surpassed my expectations that I had going in. Full of unique rock formations, deep canyons, and colorful redrock this park is a much smaller and quieter alternative to places like Bryce Canyon and Grand Canyon.

It was a special morning to be out doing photography and even more sweet time to be with my Savior.
another shot in the harsher light.
I noticed after I posted that I should have cropped a little off the left, maybe later.
