What a way to end a great day. We stopped a the local Box Canyon Falls, which contains the geological wonder called the Great Uncomformity that people come to from around the world. When you walk the 95 stairs to the bottom of the falls, you see an intensely powerful waterfall rushing through a vertical slit in the rock. It's difficult to describe the power of the falls. The sign said that if they hooked it up to a generator it would create enough power for the whole town. The Great Uncomformity is sedimentary rock that was crunched together until the black and white bands turned completely vertical. Then more sedimentary rock was laid down on top of that, kind of like a lady's fingers cake.
For dinner we landed, rather by chance, at the Adobe Inn in Ridgway, which definitely had the best Mexican food we've had the entire trip. That makes the two best restaurants, by far, we've found on this trip being located in Colorado. What's not to love?
