Ouray, Colorado has a fabulous geological feature in which a massive waterfall flows through a cave like recess in the rocks above the town. There are steel walkways that take you into the recess and walkways that take you down to river level. It is pretty spectacular!
 |
| The entry includes the ticket seller and a good explanation of the features of the park including birds, rock types, fauna and a selection of books for sale. |
 |
| Well worth the money |
 |
| Interpretive signs along the walkway explain the features |

 |
| Watch your head! |
 |
| Up close and personal with the falls |
 |
| There is a bridge above the falls that is part of the hiking trail above the town |
 |
| The bridge gives access to unique geological structure |
 |
| The bridge leads to a walk through a tunnel |
 |
| View down from the bridge |

Can't wait to go here! Kids are super excited! I'm bringing a zip lock baggie of black oil sunflower seeds and alfalfa pellets for the ground squirrels.
