Description
A vast canyon landscape stretches under a clear blue sky, with rugged cliffs framing the wide valley. Sparse vegetation dots the arid terrain, highlighting the natural beauty of the rocks and formations.
Ute Canyon is one of the three longest canyons located in the Colorado National Monument and splits the monument in half. Once known as the Lime Kiln Canyon, Ute Canyon has changed its name at least once throughout history. There is a steep 1,000 foot loss, 950 foot gain ten mile loop starting at Liberty Cap that you can hike.
Colorado National Monument is a part of the National Park Service near the city of Grand Junction. Spectacular canyons cut deep into sandstone and even granite-gneiss-schist rock formations in some areas, this is an area of desert land high on the Colorado Plateau, with pinion and juniper forests present.
Some digital effects were applied to the original image after the photograph was made. No electrons were harmed.
