I have broken up our 2009 vacation to Colorado into several pieces in order to post more photos.  It was written in May just before the reunion so it may look a little out of order compared to my 2010 postings.  Now for 2009 list of NP's and NM's:

Pecos National Historic Park
   Nicest picnic stop we've had.

Great Sand Dunes NP
   Note a lot to do there.

Mesa Verde NP
   Since I like history I enjoyed the park.

Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP
   Really enjoyed this one.

Colorado NM
   Has some strange monuments in it.

Rocky Mountain NP
   The jewel of the Colorado NP's.

Garden of the Gods Park
   A Colorado Springs Park which was neat.

Florissant Fossil Beds NM
   Who knew that redwoods grew here in Colorado?

Pikes Peak
   Got this off my bucket list.
