COLORADO PLATEAU LANDSCAPES

Posted on July 4, 2024 by admin

Colorado Plateau. This area is the uplift through which the Colorado River flows. It covers the SW corner of Colorado, NW New Mexico, South Utah and North Arizona. 300 canyons enter the Colorado River giving an almost endless variety of natural adventures, mainly hiking, kayaking and rafting.
The Anasazi (1000-1350 AD) left the area after a prolonged drought traveling through Chaco Canyon to be the forerunners of the Pueblos in New Mexico. They left an astonishing number of ruins and petroglyphs.

About admin

I would like to think of myself as a full time traveler. I have been retired since 2006 and in that time have traveled every winter for four to seven months. The months that I am "home", are often also spent on the road, hiking or kayaking. I hope to present a website that describes my travel along with my hiking and sea kayaking experiences.
