Hovenweep National Monument, Utah

This site is about an hour drive west of Cortez, Colorado.  This is the only park I've found that actually welcomes pets as long as you keep them on leash.  There are 2 very nice trails.  One is very short and the other takes about an hour.  The blue lizard is called a Collared Lizard and he didn't even budge when I got really close.  The dogs never even saw him.  This photo does not do justice to his brilliant color.
