Gore Canyon, Colorado

A westbound coal empty glides out the spectacular Gore Canyon. I have shot many trains from Inspiration Point, so I decided to hike down the talus slope a bit to try and get something a "little" different.....

 

The rapids in this stretch of Gore Canyon are some of the most challenging on the continent. There is only a small handful of raft companies that commercially raft this dangerous section of the Colorado River, and even then the water has to be at a certain (CFS)flow rate. Therefore, it is very rare to see a raft come out the mouth of Gore Canyon, kayaks are far and away more common here.....
