Colston - Kilpatrick

Topics:

Mountain sheep
Cow Creek
Wind erosion above Colston
Colston Cliffs
Colston RAP
Note about staying far right approaching the small Colston Eddy
Peregrine falcons
Kilpatrick RAP

If material runs short on this page, it might be a good place to discuss how the river corridor was settled in pioneer days while working in a mention of the Homestead Act.  Basically, land straddling the confluence of any small tributary water source was homesteaded rather early in the pioneer settlement timeline.

The geology of Cronks Canyon is very interesting and well worth an extensive discussion.
