	Colorado Guide - Colorado National Monument
		The Colorado National Monument is named after the river rather than the state, and covers a relatively small area of eroded red rock formations and canyons just south of the Colorado near Grand Junction.
		The establishment of the Monument in 1911 was largely due several years of campaigning by one man, John Otto, who explored the canyons and single-handedly built many miles of trails through the area.
		Access: There is one paved road through the monument; this begins south of Grand Junction - just 4 miles from the town centre, the flat city street crosses the Colorado river, passes the entrance gate and becomes steep and twisting, with 15 mph corners and a tunnel, as it ascends the towering red cliffs.
