Here are some photos from southwestern Colorado.

After climbing Otto’s Route, hiking Mt. Garfield, and driving through the Black Canyon, I visited Mesa Verde National Park and Four Corners. Mesa Verde was pretty neat, though I didn’t have much time to spend there. Four Corners was incredibly lame, but now I can say that I’ve been there. I’ll not be going back.
