632. From the Town of Bedrock...
...it's a snake right out of history!

For this little adventure, find the tiny town of Bedrock on route 90 in far western CO. Turn south on the road just west of the Dolores River bridge and just east of the Bedrock general store. Drive down this gravel road a mile or so to where it gets steep (just past a BLM picnic area), continue on foot southerly a short distance to the convergence of dirt jeep roads atop the small bluff, and then just a bit further south to two brown stakes on either side of the path that say "No Vehicles".

From between these brown stakes blocking the old road, go back across the gully about 25-30 steps and look right to a secluded little "rock alcove" by a juniper. Sit on the lower rock to the right between sage bushes facing the trail and reach under the 6-inch pinkish stone behind your feet for the skinny gray 2-inch "finger stone" with a "snake" on its back. Continuing on the trail a mile or two around the corner of the canyon wall as we did could also net you some fine views and perhaps a sighting of dinosaur footprints and petroglyphs as well!
