    Tips

    If you think of the Colorado River, you might have the mighty wide river gorge flowing through the Grand Canyon in mind. But up here, in the mountains of the Colorado State is where this famous river is just a small alpine stream. From the parking lot, it is just a short walk to the very first miles of the Colorado River.

      The Colorado River here is an Alpine torrent. We are very far from the Grand Canyon in Arizona, where the river is very imposing. What is noticeable along this path that goes up the river, is that the wildlife is very present, and you can sometimes see herds of Elk, and Moose.
