Effin and other park people, I have the following work itinerary in CO. What parks can I hit Archived Message Posted by ATL on May 16, 2025, 10:31:17 even if to get a taste? **Monday, June 16:** Drive from Denver International Airport (DIA) to Grand Junction – approximately 4.5 hours. **Tuesday, June 17:** Meetings at various and sundry ATLCo plant sites. **Wednesday, June 18:** Visit any other sites you would like to see in the area or catch up on office work. Drive back to Denver. I'm thinking Black Canyon of the Gunnison. But anything else I should look at. I don't think I'll have time for any serious hikes or even longer unserious ones. But I would like to maybe photograph some stuff. Message Thread: Effin and other park people, I have the following work itinerary in CO. What parks can I hit - ATL May 16, 2025, 10:31:17 I’d go to Moab if you can go there Tuesday night. It’s a bit further than black canyon. - GhostofPokeyStixPast May 16, 2025, 18:59:24 Would but I’ve done the big 5 and stayed a few nights in Moab for Canyonlands, Arches and Dead Horse - ATL May 16, 2025, 19:18:26 getting up in grand junction, hitting black canyon, and then getting to DEN same day is a lot - cpsteine May 16, 2025, 15:38:01 I would like to do the drive thru glenwood canyon on I-70. I hear it rivals I-84 thru the CR gorge.* - ATL May 16, 2025, 19:20:03 Colorado National Monument is a good fairly quick scenic drive that is worth doing.* - DocWalk20 May 16, 2025, 15:26:21 Visit Glenwood Springs for a dip in the hot springs and to see where Doc Holliday spent his last - DocWalk20 May 16, 2025, 15:25:34 Day One: Search for Frank Lloyd Wright-lookalike houses 8-4:30, work 4:30-5 pm.... * - osklister May 16, 2025, 11:42:31 That’s the beginning of palisade peach season - snipes824 May 16, 2025, 11:29:29 Manitou Cliff Dwellings, rookie* - Stu May 16, 2025, 11:09:10 Stu - have you done the Incline? - EffinIllini May 16, 2025, 11:23:47 If I said yes I'd be lying. - Stu May 16, 2025, 15:45:27 Those stairs are no joke… - DocWalk20 May 16, 2025, 15:21:52 Stop for lunch in Frisco.* - Warrin'_Illini May 16, 2025, 11:03:07 Get the burger?* - EffinIllini May 16, 2025, 11:05:24 Stalk and kill an elk or eagle. Food for days!* - Warrin'_Illini May 16, 2025, 11:08:17 mrs. Effin has a cousin who moved to Montrose, CO. Her husband guides elk hunts. - EffinIllini May 16, 2025, 11:12:53 I have never been that direction, but, yeah, certainly Black Canyon of the Gunnison if you have time - EffinIllini May 16, 2025, 10:57:13 From what I’ve read (never been there) Black Canyon is also a good “see it from the car” park - DT May 16, 2025, 11:08:06 You actually can hike to bottom via several trails; requires a permit; or there are a couple - cpsteine May 16, 2025, 15:41:37 Yeah. Sounds like mostly drive to some overlooks, maybe some short rim hikes. - EffinIllini May 16, 2025, 11:10:31 That pretty much sums it up. Good biking and decent rafting in the area. Gunnison and Crested Butte - DocWalk20 May 16, 2025, 15:23:03   Searching
