THREE HIKING SISTERS, we love to hike together, but we don't all live in the same state. Sometimes it is only two of us, and sometimes we hike with others. This is a record of some of our hikes.
Our last stop was to hike to the Devil's Kitchen, 2 miles round trip. The trailhead is shared among 4 hikes.
Lots of gorgeous rock formations along the trail.

We also stopped at Cold Shivers Point on our drive through Colorado National Monument. Vies from the point.

On our drive through Colorado National Monument we stopped at the Coke Ovens Viewpoint.

Our second stop in Colorado National Monument was to do the short 1/2 mile round trip hike on Otto's Trail. This is just south of the Rim Trail. View form the end of Otto's Trail looking at the Pipe Organ and northward to the Rim Trail.

We drove to Colorado National Monument and drove in from the West Entrance. Soon after entering the park we saw several female desert bighorn sheep next to the road.
One of the bighorn sheep quickly scampered up the hillside.
For our first short hike, we started from the visitor center and combined the Canyon Rim Trail with the Window Rock Trail (1.5 miles round trip). There were some gorgeous rocks along the trail above the canyon.
Looking up to the high end of the canyon.

Further down the trail, looking north, we could see the point of what I think is Window Rock.
