In this episode of SilverVagabonds, we explore Fruita, Colorado and discover one of the most underrated scenic destinations in the American Southwest — Colorado National Monument.
From camping at James M. Robb Colorado River State Park to playing disc golf in Fruita and driving the breathtaking Rim Rock Drive, this area completely exceeded our expectations. We experienced dramatic red rock canyons, towering sandstone monoliths, incredible overlooks, wildlife sightings, and the fascinating Coke Ovens trail.
We also spotted bighorn sheep, learned the history of Independence Monument, and discovered why Colorado National Monument deserves a spot on every Southwest road trip itinerary.
If you’re planning an RV trip, Colorado road trip, or searching for hidden gems near Moab and Grand Junction, this is a stop you don’t want to miss.
