Echo Park to Big Dominguez- Day 6
Mileage: 197
Off to the San Juans today! We took our time on the way out of Echo Park stopping at the petroglyphs and Chew homestead. The Chew ranch was one of the first ranches established in what is now Dinosaur National Monument. In 1966 the Chew family sold 1,900 acres of the ranch in what is now within the Dinosaur National Monument.
Jim lost a tent pole when leaving Echo Park and had to fashion a cross pole out of a sapling. So, we would make a slight detour to Big Agnes for a replacement tomorrow. We relaxed around a fire before retiring to our tents. Tomorrow we should make it to Silverton.
