A rugged mountain run that follows a tumbling creek through a narrow canyon, with steep walls rising on both sides. The sound of rushing water and glimpses of small cascades keep the climb lively, while the cool air from the creek offers relief on warm days. A tough but scenic stretch on the way to higher ground or to Ouray.
