Dolores River Canyon near Dolores
The Dolores River canyon below McPhee Dam features red sandstone walls, cottonwood-lined banks, and a clear-flowing river corridor winding through the pinon-juniper landscape. The stretch between the dam and the town of Dolores is accessible from Colorado Highway 145 and offers intimate riparian scenery. Fall color from cottonwoods and willows creates striking contrasts against the red rock.
