Gore Canyon, Canyon along Colorado River near Kremmling, United States.
The Colorado River flows through Gore Canyon, carving a three-mile path between steep walls that rise 1,000 feet on both sides.
The construction of the railroad line through Gore Canyon during the 19th century required extensive engineering efforts due to the challenging terrain.
Each August, Gore Canyon hosts a whitewater festival where skilled paddlers compete in races while spectators gather to watch the events.
Visitors can observe the canyon from Grand County Road CR 1, which follows the southern rim as part of the Colorado River Headwaters National Scenic Byway.
The canyon contains Class V rapids, making it one of the most technically demanding sections for whitewater navigation in Colorado.
