A high, wide view looks down over Ridgway Reservoir’s blue Dallas Creek arm, surrounded by patchwork green valleys and dark ridgelines. Sunlight catches the water and pale mountain slopes, with the Sneffels Range fading into the distance.

Ridgway State Park - Dallas Creek Arm

The Dallas Creek arm of Ridgway Reservoir provides a classic foreground for photographs of the Sneffels Range, including Mount Sneffels at 14,150 feet. The reservoir reflects the surrounding peaks when winds are calm. Fall cottonwoods along the shore add seasonal color framing the mountain views.
