These three rounded, sandstone domes are part of the Wingate formation colloquially known as the Coke Ovens. If you entered Colorado National Monument near Fruita, then by the time you finish savoring the picturesque landscape from the Coke Oven Overlook, your scenic ride is almost over. But what is your hurry? Why leave a good thing? There are over 80 campsites at the park plus plenty of hiking trails to suit any physical condition. The trailhead for one of the easiest, one-mile paths is a few steps from this view.
