Some of the most amazing and beautiful landscapes in the world
That’s precisely what makes Colorado National Monument one of those at-least-once-in-your-life-must-go-places. Unique rock formations and backcountry offer many opportunities for rock climbing, hiking, mountain biking, great photography and of course, camping!
So take advantage of your Phoenix Custom Truck Camper and include this nature’s gift on your nextcamping trip. The place offers you two choices: the Saddlehorn Campground which is open year round; or if you want a closer to nature experience, they allow backcountry camping with certain rules to follow.
Just make sure to check with the park for space and fees. The Saddlehorn campground rarely fills up, but it is first-come, first served. You’ll need to bring cash or check to pay for the campground fee. This is a great place for group camping; there are no hook ups but during summer the restrooms have water. Pets are allowed in campsites, picnic areas, and the pavement but must be kept on a leash at all times. They are not allowed on trails or in the backcountry.
The beginnings of Colorado National Monument
Do you know what the difference between a park and a monument is? A park is set aside by an act of congress, which after approval requires the president’s signature. A monument is established by presidential proclamation only.
In 1907 John Otto fell in love with this land and began pushing to have Monument Canyon set as a National Park. In 1911, President Taft establishes the Colorado National Monument through a Presidential Proclamation under the authority of the Antiquities Act.
The Serpents Trail was constructed between 1912 and 1921 and it was the first motorized route into the Monument. In 1931 construction of the Rim Rock Drive began, and Civilian Conservation Corps workers arrived in 1933 to continue the project, along with the WPA and Local Experienced Men.
