Grand Mesa

 

 

 


 

 

Ward lake campground

 

See that dark blue line?  That’s the road we should have taken.  The light blue line….it turned to dirt after we were far enough in that we didn’t want to turn around.

 

The driving was slow, but the scenery was wonderful.  We climbed from an 8,000 foot lake at Vega State Park, to a 10,000 foot mesa outside of Grand Junction.  Grand Mesa is the largest flat-topped mountain in the world.  It has over 300 lakes and spans 500 square miles.  We spent the night there at Ward Lake.
