Dolores River

Dolores River
Looking northwest (downstream) from off Colorado State Route 141 (the highway visible on the ledge to the right) toward Gateway, CO. The Dolores rises in southwestern Colorado and flows generally northwesterly, joining the Colorado River in Utah upstream from Moab. It flows thru lots of red standstone country and spectacular canyons. The name is considerably shortened from the original Spanish: El Río de Nuestra Señora de Dolores, River of Our Lady of Sorrows.

Thanks, everyone! Southwestern Colorado doesn't get nearly the usage that Moab does, but it's just as spectacular.

Thanks, all! Roger, yes, that's an "active slope" (as we say in the jargon) along that cliff. When I'd come this way after dark the previous evening, there was an intense rainstorm that had washed debris over those cliffs down onto the highway. Which I didn't see till I was practically on it. I was glad I had a 4x4 with reasonably good clearance! They'd cleared the road off by the time I came back to take these pix.

Beautiful area. That red sandstone really makes for some dramatic landscaped.
