The Narrows - Lincoln Creek Area, CO

The Narrows – Lincoln Creek area was so named because it is the first point where the road narrows dramatically. Here the road clings to the cliff and there is a precipitous drop-off to the river canyon below. There are wide views to Mount Shimer and the Difficult Creek Drainage and excellent views of the mixed deciduous/coniferous forest along the river. There are also glimpses of the Grottos area where the river tumbles down through spectacular eroded rock formations.
