Hi,
I work with the Pinnacles Partnership, a nonprofit affiliated with the monument. There are some pretty posh lodging options near the park that are waaay below most folks' radar. Shoot me a pm if you want me to get you more information about those, the park or anything else along the way. Also, you might want to check out the Condor Classic cycling event Oct. 10. Take a look at
www.pinnaclespartnership.org or
www.condorclassic.com for details.
