Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument

We headed out to Colorado Springs for the weekend, it rained our entire drive there except the time we stopped at the Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument.  The weather gods were certainly on our side.  We did a mile long hike along the petrified stumps loop, there were some very large stumps that had been excavated.  Finley also spotted several ground squirrels that were all around the area.
