Travel Guide

after leaving the four corners monument, I noticed the strange rock that had sort of a twisted formation. it is like there are many skinny fingers clamping on the ground. i found it fascinating to see. i learned that it's called the chimney rock. that seems to be a popular attraction. it's located on the southern ute reservation in towaoc, colorado on US 491. .

we stopped to take a photo of this butte that was about 250 feet tall. I could see it driving at least 25 miles ahead.

Soothing oasis near Mesa Verde
Very soothing little oasis outside Mancos. Nicely appointed, quiet, with lovely, lush green surroundings. Felt very private. An easy, short drive to Mesa Verde. My singular complaint is that it needs better pillows, but that's such a minor issue.

I picked this location because it came up as the closest location to Four Corners. I didn't really take the fact that if it was a casino it would be open 24 hrs with people coming & going which made me a little uneasy about my car in the lot, but eve

Their balcony is nice but when sitting out in evening, you cant turn light off, lady said it was for security, need a new way for that.
