Today our plan is to visit Colorado NM before driving towards our last accomodation in this trip in Cortez. We have been in Colorado NM some years ago and we are looking forward to see again the red rocks and weird formations.
But first we have to drive up to the Rim, it is a nice drive and we stop a few times to take photos of birds and of course the scenery because as we ascend the views become also more impressive.
Of course the views from the Rim are the most impressive and there are quite a few overlooks where you can stop, exit the car and just enjoy the beautiful views.
There are some really special views of the surrounding area from the overlooks and we enjoy stopping at each of them and see the expansive vistas from each of them.
We take a few small hikes also to some views of the rock formations that Colorado NM is famous for. And they are quite beautiful especially in the falling sun.
We even see a person climbing the most dangerous rock needle among the different formations. Not one person, multiple ones actually, it seems it is quite an attraction to climb on it.
Last stop before descending down and starting the drive to Cortez is at the coke ovens. These were the formations that we enjoyed most last time and we are impressed again today. They have a very interesting shape and in formation really look like coke ovens.
After this last stop we drive to Cortez where with some difficulty we find our hotel and go to sleep before our last day of the trip.
