Get in touch with nature with castle building on the large sandy beaches, water fights and swimming in the warm river water, and exploring on short hikes to ancient Native American ruins, abandoned homesteads, and scenic overlooks. Discover ancient art rock painting, ancient dinosaur habitats, and the hideout of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Be enchanted with wildlife such as bear, deer, bighorn sheep, blue herons, and one of the last bands of wild horses along the river corridor.
