Monument Canyon

This morning I headed to the Colorado National Monument to hike down Monument Canyon. Here’s a few photos I took along the way.

Here’s a few photos I tonemapped for a little different look

It was a nice hike to start the day….but since it had rained the night before, it was pretty humid out!
