Browns Canyon National Monument protects a stunning section of Colorado’s upper Arkansas River Valley. The monument features rugged granite cliffs, colorful rock outcroppings and mountain vistas that are home to various plants and wildlife, including bighorn sheep and golden eagles. The area is a beacon to white water rafters and anglers looking to test their skills at catching brown and rainbow trout. During the fall, nature’s palette is on full display as the surrounding forests of aspen and cottonwood turn vibrant shades of yellow, orange and red, creating a picturesque backdrop for your visit.
