The Grand Mesa is the eastern boundary for the valley. It rises to
over 12,000 ft. and squeezes the Colorado River out of the Rocky
Mountain foothills into our fair valley. It is purportedly the highest
flat topped mountain in the world pushed upward intact eons ago by
volcanic forces which left an area of incredible mountain beauty with
lakes and streams for fishing, trails for hiking and mountain biking and
world class cross county skiing on trails that track through total
wilderness as well as the year round resort facilities at
Powderhorn.
