Colorado National Monument

The Colorado National Monument was beautiful. Well worth the time to see it. We stopped at the visitor center, did the short hike there and then the drive through the park. At the entrance a sign advices a height restriction of 10' 6". We asked at the guard gate and they said they were really 16 ft or so and that we would be fine. I figured we could go to the visitor center and come back.  Then at the visitor center were told that the big tour buses did the full drive all the time so it should be safe for all RVs. As a result we got to do the full drive.

We made it through the tunnel just fine.

We lucked out and got shade about half way through.

    You should have no problem. You can do what we did which was ask at the guard gate and then again at the visitor center and they can tell you if anything has changed.
