Destinations: Dolores River Canoeing
If you are a history buff and adventurer you will love the Dolores. This river section is spiced with Class II-III rapids and colossal red sandstone canyons, steeped in local history: Butch Cassidy used the canyon for a hideout after his bank robberies and a mysterious, abandoned mining flume remains suspended high above the river on the canyon walls. It is truly an engineering marvel! Near Gateway, CO.
