Damned "No Trespassing" signs- we studied the Colorado Atlas maps and found what appeared to be a great canyon entering the Uncompaghre Plateau on our way to Orvis Hot Springs. We were shut down at the end of a long dirt road by tooky private landholders who seem to want to restrict access and keep it all to themselves. Undeterred, we climbed up on top of the mesa and went for an awesome two hour hike into beautiful sage and pinon lands with killer views of our intended canyon with the San Juans, Grand Mesa and West Elks looming in the distance. Grace says "daddy, take my picture here!"
