total mileage 15,313
camping fee $9.50 Arapaho Rec area
I traveled US-40 to Dinosaur National Park. I went to the visitor center but to actually see fossils still embedded in the rock you need to go on a hike of about an hour and a half. And need hiking boots not motorcycle boots, next time I will be prepared.
I then continued on US-40 into Colorado. I turned off on 34 towards Rocky Mountain National Park. I stopped at the Arapaho Rec Area about 20 miles from the park. I found a great campsite at Sunset Point overlooking the lake. I finished setting up camp just as the sun was going down. I found out later that evening that it was rated one of the top 100 camps in the nation.
I had stopped about 3:30 for half a sub so I was ok for the night. The local chipmunk is overseeing the writing of the log but he is very camera shy.
