Happy Monday! We have a 5-part series from cope this week, so Albatrossity gets a day off.
This is actually a 6-part series, but I goofed up the scheduling and somehow posted Part I in December without realizing it was part of a series. oops! Anyway, if you click on Grand Junction in the category list that’s just under the title, you can refresh your memory on the first post. :-)

The day after our drive up and over Grand Mesa, my grandson and I joined one of my sisters and her hubby for a hike to Devil’s Kitchen in the Colorado National Monument or “The Monument” as the locals call it. The day after that, one of my brothers drove us around the Rim Rock Drive on The Monument. Enjoy, I know I did.
The Devil’s Kitchen Trail at the southern end of The Colorado National Monument sits in the bottom of No Thoroughfare Canyon and is a relatively easy hike of less than two miles with some short, steep switchbacks. As was true during the entire hike, my sister, her husband and my grandson got out ahead of me quickly. You can see from the shadows that we got off to a late start on this clear July day. The trail bends to the right, up toward tilted rocks.
After using one of my sister’s, I am now an advocate for walking sticks on dodgy ground.
