This executive shuttle bus tour travels through one of the Grand Valley's natural wonders, the Colorado National Monument. The Colorado National Monument preserves one of the grand landscapes of the American West. But this treasure is much more than a monument. Towering monoliths exist within a vast plateau and canyon panorama. You can experience sheer-walled, red rock canyons along the twists and turns of Rim Rock Drive, where you may spy bighorn sheep and soaring eagles. After the tour of the monument, you will drive through Palisade’s picturesque vineyards. Your tour includes tastings at three Colorado wineries. Lunch is not included.
