My wife was attending an archaeology conference in Montrose, so I decided to drive out and join her for a weekend on Colorado’s western slope. Spent some time rambling around Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, Ridgway State Park, and the Uncompahgre Plateau.
On the 28th we visited the Ute Indian Museum, then we joined a group tour to Shavano Petroglyph Park. The petroglyph park lies at the crossroads of several ancient trails used by natives for thousands of years, and those that used the trails left behind some excellent rock art.
