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.....
A lengthy MRONY snakes into Gore Canyon as it slowly works up the western slope of the Rocky Mountains. Rafters are frequently seen in this area, attempting to navigate the fierce whitewater of the Colorado.

Gorebridge glen waterfall. Another shot from a local spot. This time with some more water coming over the waterfall and a little dash of green leaves and moss.
Of all the canyons traversed by the Rio Grande Zephyr, Gore Canyon was arguably the most spectacular. Viewed from Inspiration Point, Train 17 works its way west on the Moffatt line.
