A few km east of Montrose we travelled to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park which south rim is absolutely stunning and from your car you'll have a great view of the canyon.

By camper the road can be tracky but speeding limits are really low, around 25, so you will be able to take your time.

Inside the Black Canyon of the Gunnison Park we went to see...

From Cortez we drove east to Durango and from there we headed north in direction of Silverton along the Million Dollar Highway into the San Juan National Forest.

Silverton located in the San Juan County, Colorado and is a former mining camp that today is visited mainly by tourists but once was part of a flourishing mining industry.

We learned about the history...

After visiting Moab we started to drive south in direction of Cortez, Colorado to the tip of our loop. From Cortez we would drive back north to Silverton and make our way to Denver with still some stops on the way.

Cortez was the place where we went to visit the Mesa Verde National Park which is known for its beautiful and genious cliff dwellings.

I had seen only...

Another great place to visit from Moab is the Canyonlands National Park which offers some beautiful panoramic views of the Green River which crawls through the canyons ot this national park.

If you're travelling with a camper van like we did make sure to take your time as the road up to the Canyonlands National Park can be steep and very curvy.

A special viewpoint...

The Dead Horse Point State Park is located at about 4 hours south of Salk Lake City near the city of Moab, famous for other national parks like the Arches National Park and the Canyonlands National Park.

The Dead Horse Point State Park is next to the Canyonlands National Park so we decided to visit both these two parks in the same day.

One of the best lookout points...
