Title : Dolores River and Canyon, Colorado, U.S.A. October 1995

Caption :

Drainage patterns, mesas, and mountains are the prominent landforms in the semiarid environment of extreme southwest Colorado. Apparent are the Dolores River exiting southwest of the mountains and gradually making a U-turn to the northwest. Visible are Sleeping Ute Mountains and Ute Peak [5914 feet (1803 meters) above sea level] (upper right corner) and Mesa Verde National Park, the eroded mesa (top of photograph). Cortez (not discernible) lies near the small, dark, V-shaped reservoir (near top center).
