2013-05 McElmo Canyon and more

Sue and I explored new territory we had not done before, driving west from Cortez through the McElmo Canyon to the Van Hovenweep National Momument. Our drive also bordered the Canyons of the Ancients National Momument and the Ute Mountain Ute Indian Reservation. While we will have to save seeing them for other trips back, the area is filled with ancestral Puebloan building remnants. Plus, we discovered several unexpected wineries, vineyards and all--so I guess we aren't that far from California.
