These caves are known as the Mellen Hill Caves used by the Fremonts and later the Utes. It's just south of the town of Dinosaur in NW Colorado. I took some time to stretch my legs and have a look around. It was disappointing to see some of the rock art had the hand of some dummy's add their stuff to this sites. After this interesting time I had down in the canyon I looked back at my truck and saw I better quit with the fun and get back on up and get on in to Montrose. This site has steep, slippery very crude unimproved trails and isn't a good place for folks who lack in moderate agility to check out. I saw a few lizards still running around and that gave me the sense I best keep an eye out for rattle snakes also. It was a nice break from the road on this beautiful fall afternoon.
