Grand Lake
Length: 80 miles |
Downstream the Colorado is a
mighty river irrigating and providing power to the Southwestern United States. But up
here, at its source, it is no different from dozens of other Rocky Mountain waterways, a
clear brook tumbling across greenish meadows and down cramped redrock gorges. This stretch between Grand Lake and State Bridge offers first-class fishing, canoeing, and rafting, along with plenty of quiet spaces where you can sit on the banks and contemplate. The route begins at Grand Lake, an old resort town on the shores of Colorado's largest natural lake, and ends on a gravel road through spectacular Upper Gore Canyon. |
