Monarch Crest

We went over Monarch Crest on our way to Gunnison and decided it would be a good way to spend an afternoon since we'd blown our morning with Fred. It was a great way to spend the afternoon!

Cool weather. (I had to buy a fleece!) And fantastic views! The wind was so strong on the observation deck that people had difficulty opening the door to go in and out. (Of course someone inside had the brilliant idea to lock the door and then it took a bit of pounding on the part of those of us who had gone outside to get back in.)

Here's a sample of what we saw.
