Colorado National Monument: but not really
This was one of those spur-of-the-moment flights that results in a lot of gawping at the amazing scenery without actually knowing where to go.
Down below is the stunning terrain of the Colorado National Monument and the iconic Monument Valley. Only I accidentally flew north east instead west so ended up flying over the incredible ridge, north of the airport. I'd only glanced at a map and missed the fact that the national part/reservation is on the other side of Grand Junction.
Route
- Take off from Grand Junction Regional.
- Actually know where you're heading - unlike me!
I don't tend to fly without some clouds. Clouds give you a second "landscape" to explore.
While I didn't actually see Monument Valley, I did learn how to refuel, once I got back to Grand Junction Regional Airport.
I'll repeat the flight when I'm better prepared.
