Witness the sinking sun set fire to otherworldly red-rock formations, hike stark and
beautiful high-desert trails and camp beneath frequent lightning storms as they roll across
the distant plains. These canyon walls rise from the Uncompahgre Uplift of the Colorado
Plateau, 2000ft above the Grand Valley of the Colorado River to reveal the twinkling lights
of Grand Junction, the green river and tree-lined fields of the Grand Valley - all of it a
landscape that was once patrolled by dinosaurs.
