The best friend a Monument could have…You!
Colorado National Monument preserves one of the grand landscapes of the American West. Bold, big, and brilliantly colored, this plateau-and-canyon country, with its towering masses of naturally sculpted rock, embraces 32 square miles of rugged terrain. In 1911, President Taft proclaimed this area Colorado National Monument, the Colorado National Monument Association wasn’t established until over 50 years later.
The Colorado National Monument Association (CNMA) is one of 70 cooperating associations established to support the National Park Service. When you make a purchase from our online or park store, proceeds form the sale are used to finance new publications and to assist the National Park Service with educational, interpretive, and scientific programs in Colorado National Monument.
