This canyon is near Montrose of the Denver and Rio Grande fame. That brown stain is the river several thousand feet below our feet. June is one of a handful of months where sunlight actually reaches the canyon floor. The picture above Pati is the signature of volcanic rock being forced through narrow crevices at a time when this area was formed. Hard to believe the D&RGW narrow gauge actually ran through the canyon to Cimarron Creek where it exited the canyon on its way to Cimarron and Montrose.
