We had to climb on top of this big long rock, which was much scarier than it looks in the pictures.
It was also much prettier than it looks in the pictures.
It was a good spot.
To one side you could see open fields with things growing.
But in most directions were desert and mountains.
We went on a hike through the devil’s garden.
We spent most of our time looking for tiny trail markers to figure out if we were on the right path.
We passed lots of weird sandstone formations.
Kerry thought this one looked like a chess knight. Matt disagreed.
The rocks were very big.
The space between them was also very big.
This was a boring arch.
This was a window arch.
You could see the mountains in the background. It was very pretty.
The double O arch doesn’t look like much from a distance either.
From closer you can see the double Os.
But you have to get really close to appreciate them.
The top O had a tiny sliver of the moon inside it.
The bottom O looked like an eye.
There were a lot of dinosaur footprints in Colorado.
There must have once been a lot of dinosaurs.
This is the footprint of a swimming crocodile.
But all of these ones are dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs have weird feet.
Their feet were bigger than Kerri’s.
This is the underside of a footprint from a much bigger dinosaur.
Matt should be careful he doesn’t get crushed.
There were some dinosaur bones too but nothing interesting.
The dinosaur footprints were between Denver
and the mountains.
There were some pretty flowers.
And cactus.
