Description
After hiking Mount Garfield on Monday evening and then mountain biking in Fruita, Colorado, on Tuesday, I made a quick jaunt up Liberty Cap in the Colorado National Monument on Wednesday night. This is a great short hike that takes you near the top of the monument. I was surprised to see the iron ladder that allowed easier access to the top of Liberty Cap had been removed. I was still able to make the summit, but the down climb was a bit tricky.
