Our first stop this day was to Natural Bridges National Monument, a
place where one could hike to three naturally-formed free-standing bridges.
We hiked to the two within my daughter's capabilities.
This was a very isolated location where we were often the only ones around.
When we stopped at the Visitor's Center we began my son's path to earning his Junior Ranger patch.

Four Corners is the only location in the United States where you can be in four states simultaneously.
It was on the way to our next stop, so I couldn't leave it off.

We spent a little too much time enjoying Natural Bridges, so that
shifted our arrival to check in at Far View Lodge in Mesa Verde National Park later than planned.
The hotel is situated at 8000-foot elevation and has a Tesla charger.
We plugged in and settled in for the night.
This charging location probably has the best view of any.
Cost to Charge: $0
