Piedra River

Description 

The Piedra River is usually cold and dark where it eases from the road down towards Ice Box Canyon. There's some established rock climbs on the trail side (west side) of the canyon for sumer weather conditions. In the winter, this place could use some farming and it could be a gem of mixed climbing area like Vail or Ouray. Someday, I'll have the time to do some work in there.

Getting There 

From Pagosa take North Pagosa Blvd to Piedra Road. Drive about 10 miles or so to the Piedra River. Hike South from the parking area for about :10-:15 minutes down into the box canyon along the river.
