Description
Chaffee County, located on the slopes of the Rocky Mountains, has more 14,000 foot peaks and spectacular mountain scenery than most other regions in Colorado. Its western border loosely follows the Continental Divide and marks the beginning of the sixth longest river in America. The Arkansas River headwaters begin nearby one of the highest towns in the world, Leadville. As the Arkansas rushes southward, the river skirts the Collegiate Peaks Scenic Byway, and drops 4600 feet over 120 miles. Pictured here during the autumn season, the Arkansas cuts through Brown's Canyon and then flows further eastward toward Royal Gorge, creating some of the state's most exciting whitewater runs.

The Arkansas is a long running river, traversing through the southeastern portion of the state and farther! Great shot and this looks like a good place to fish!
