Welcome to Journeys with John. I am a traveler and adventurer sharing my travel experiences with you. My posts highlight history, diving, public lands, and other amazing locations you should check out. I also share tips for places I have visited or am planning to visit. Mostly, I balance my travels between hostels, camping, and cheaper guest houses, while at the same time being open to more luxurious trips and hotel stays if the opportunity arises. My ultimate goal is to escape as much of the Colorado winter as possible traveling internationally and then traveling the US during spring\/summer\/fall and sharing my recommendations with you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-top:0;padding-right:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0\">Recent Blog Posts:<\/h2>\n\n\n<style>.kb-posts-id-2_f964df-d9 .kb-post-list-item{display:grid;}<\/style><ul class=\"wp-block-kadence-posts kb-posts kadence-posts-list kb-posts-id-2_f964df-d9 content-wrap grid-cols kb-posts-style-boxed grid-sm-col-2 grid-lg-col-3 item-image-style-above\"><li class=\"kb-post-list-item\">\n\t<article class=\"entry content-bg loop-entry post-2126 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-colorado category-us-travel-destinations tag-colorado tag-hiking tag-travel tag-us-travel\">\n\t\t\t\t<a aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"post-thumbnail kadence-thumbnail-ratio-2-3\" href=\"https:\/\/journeyswithjohn.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/2026\/05\/18\/mee-canyon-alcove-the-largest-alcove-on-the-colorado-plateau\/\" aria-label=\"Mee Canyon Alcove: The largest alcove on the Colorado Plateau\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"post-thumbnail-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/journeyswithjohn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_4946-2-768x576.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-post-image\" alt=\"Mee Canyon Alcove: The largest alcove on the Colorado Plateau\" srcset=\"https:\/\/journeyswithjohn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_4946-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/journeyswithjohn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_4946-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/journeyswithjohn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_4946-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/journeyswithjohn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_4946-2.jpg 1220w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a><!-- .post-thumbnail -->\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"entry-content-wrap\">\n\t\t\t<header class=\"entry-header\">\n\t\t<div class=\"entry-taxonomies\">\n\t\t<span class=\"category-links term-links category-style-normal\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/journeyswithjohn.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/category\/us-travel-destinations\/colorado\/\" class=\"category-link-colorado\" rel=\"tag\">Colorado<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/journeyswithjohn.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/category\/us-travel-destinations\/\" class=\"category-link-us-travel-destinations\" rel=\"tag\">US Travel Destinations<\/a>\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-taxonomies -->\n\t<h2 class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/journeyswithjohn.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/2026\/05\/18\/mee-canyon-alcove-the-largest-alcove-on-the-colorado-plateau\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Mee Canyon Alcove: The largest alcove on the Colorado Plateau<\/a><\/h2>\t<div class=\"entry-meta entry-meta-divider-dot\">\n\t<span class=\"posted-by\"><span class=\"meta-label\">By<\/span><span class=\"author vcard\"><span class=\"fn n\">John Wagner<\/span><\/span><\/span>\t\t\t<span class=\"posted-on\">\n\t\t\t\t<time class=\"entry-date published\" datetime=\"2026-05-18T09:45:42-06:00\">May 18, 2026<\/time><time class=\"updated\" datetime=\"2026-05-18T09:59:00-06:00\">May 18, 2026<\/time>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .entry-meta -->\n\t<\/header><!-- .entry-header -->\n\t<div class=\"entry-summary\">\n\t\t<p>Mee Canyon Alcove is located on the western slope of Colorado.
