The Dolores River carves a deep path through this Western Slope landscape, where the small settlement of Gateway serves as the primary outpost. Surrounded by the dramatic cliffs of The Palisade, the area reveals an era of intense resource extraction. Numerous workings, including the Vanaking No 1 Mine, Mammoth Mine, and the Liberty Bell No 2 Mine, are scattered across the canyons and draws, reflecting the mining history of Mesa County.
