Colorado River Trail to Little Yellowstone Canyon

This interesting, easy trail up a beautiful riparian valley goes through a mining ghost town that was home to 200 people and has many historic memories. Climbing up to see the appropriately named small canyon is a treat, not only for the canyon view, but because of the commanding, peaceful view of one the most idyllic looking river valleys on the continent.
