Eldorado Canyon of Colorado

HIKES 

name echoes Gold Rush times and mining / shining shade of the Spanish El Dorado / state park now 

climbers on The Bastille / vertical cliffs / the "Eldo" of Layton Kor / i don't dare

Streamside + Rattlesnake Gulch + Fowler Trails / ~6.5 miles hike

highlights = waterfall + Crags Hotel + Continental Divide Overlook

hotel destroyed by fire / lasted 1908-1912 / a few ruins left / short business life

overlook elevation = 7,077 feet / view of the plains through a narrow frame of rocks

this canyon was once under sea / hard to imagine
