McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area
We will leave Grand Junction in the morning and head up for a scenic drive through Colorado National Monument. After stopping at a few viewpoints of the monument, we will start the 13mile 4-wheel drive on Black Ridge access road which involves incredible views of the entire Grand Valley. After a few exciting 4-wheel drive maneuvers the drive terminates at the Rattlesnake Canyon Arches Trailhead. After lunch, we will begin the 3.2-mile hiking loop that will take under 8 dramatic arches. The trail loop terminates with an exciting scramble up through a rock slab under Cedar Tree Arch. Your knowledgeable guide will be able to tell you about the history of the area including flora and geologic interpretations. The moderate hike back to the vehicle and drive back to town through the remaining parts of The Colorado National Monument is both Scenic and enjoyable. This Guided Hiking trip is seasonal and weather dependent. The optimal to visit this area is spring, early summer and fall.
