Portland Creek

In flood, in a slot canyon downstream from the bridge on the way to Amphitheater Campground. A house in Ouray, Colorado, is visible in the distance--I hope they're far enough above the creek!

Portland Creek

In flood, in the aftermath of an intense thunderstorm. I'm standing on a bridge here, which led to our campground, and you could hear the rumble of the bed load from the rocks tumbling down the falls. Geology in action! On the other (downstream) side of the bridge, the creek drops into a slot canyon (see inset), on its way to join the Uncompahgre River. Just outside Ouray, Colorado.
