| Self-Guided Trips - Colorado River |
Except for a brief stop to pick up her younger sister the Dolores River, where sharply
tilted sandstone cliffs create a small ochre-walled canyon, the Colorado here is a
completely different river from the stretches downstream. Boaters are treated to
broad and open views of the farmlands and fields lining the river - this feels more like
cowboy country of the open range. Cottonwood groves provide cool shade on a hot
summer day; in the spring, the trees are covered with new pale green leaves and in
the fall, they are golden and rustling with the breeze. This is one of the best sections
along the Colorado for bird watching. Migratory waterfowl use this part of the river as
a wintering ground, whose milder temperatures and calmer weather are a refuge
from the harsh climate further north.
It is not uncommon to see Canada geese, ducks, herons and other waterfowl on a
late fall float downstream. In spring, songbirds return to the river, and the banks and
groves can be a symphony of birdcalls. Boaters put in for this gentle stretch of river at
the Cisco boat ramp off of state highway 128. Twenty-three miles of paddling calm
water with a few riffles will find you at the Hittle Bottom take-out. This is a nice stretch
of river for an introduction to the Colorado River. This trip is appropriate for beginner
and advanced canoe.

As the Colorado River
leaves the confines of
Westwater Canyon and
enters the muted shades of
the Cisco Desert, she begins
a series of broad meanders
across a wide floodplain.
Her channel is shallow and
braided with the sand and
gravel bars created from
the sediments picked up
from her long journey across
Colorado.
