Dillon Pinnacles

This short and easy hike along the north shore of Blue Mesa Reservoir culminates with an up-close vista of the impressive Dillon Pinnacles. Rising at the south end of the West Elk Mountains, these unusual formations offer picturesque evidence that this region resulted from an extended period of volcanic activity.
