2011 Sept Ouray, Colorado


When we drove to Ouray to view the beautiful fall colors on the mountains we stopped at Box Canyon Falls. This compact but spectacular and powerful waterfall drops thousands of gallons per minute of Clear Creek waters from a height of almost 300 feet into a narrow (really narrow) quartzite canyon. To get to the falls, we followed the trail from the visitor's center along the narrow metal bridge-like paths that overhang the canyon. The roaring falls is quite impressive and the views beautiful. The photo's, once again, do not do the falls justice.
That is all for today,

Candy and Johnny
