Dinosaur National Monument - Day 2

Upon waking in our campsite (setup the day before), we ate breakfast and jumped on the bike to ride down some dirt paths deep in the national monument to get a glimpse of what life was like for Josie Bassett Morris. She was a tough gal that set up residence and a ranch in the natural box canyons located in the area where she raised pigs and cattle.

Afterwards, we caught the 9am shuttle from the visitor center to take a peak at the dinosaur fossils. The following are only a few pictures from the morning adventure (probably somewhat hard to view):

We packed up the bike and were back on the road around 10:30am headed towards Aspen, CO. From Aspen we took Highway 82 over Independence Pass (awesome road, BTW), through Buena Vista, past the collegiate peaks (three 14′ers) and into Colorado Springs to get home around 8pm.

Good trip despite the circumstances. Sad to be home. Could have keep on riding.
