Praying Hands

Praying Hands - Colorado National Monument

Photo by Ben Prepelka

Prominent rock formations always stir up imaginative names. This vertical sandstone fin takes on a resemblance of praying hands. It is located along the 23 mile scenic drive in Colorado National Monument, overlooking Columbus Canyon.
Adjacent to Colorado National Monument lies the primitive Black Ridge Canyons Wilderness. The Colorado Canyon National Conservation Area, managed by BLM, contains challenging hiking and biking trails in a rugged canyonland setting. Perched high above the Colorado River is the Rattlesnake Canyon and more imaginative names; Dinosaur Hill, Devils Canyon and Rabbit Valley. This primitive wilderness offers one of the greatest concentration of natural arches and 75,550 acres of adventure.
