Salt Creek Canyon/Sinbad Valley

Colorado > Grand Junction… > Unaweep Canyon > Gateway Vicinity aka…

Description

This side canyon off of CO Highway 141 is filled with boulders. Some are great, some need cleaning, but the potential is there.

You're already secluded simply by being near Gateway. Going past the town and into the canyons makes you even more secluded (read: no cell service whatsoever).

Along with the County Line Boulders, there's ton of potential for those willing to drive, hike, and scout before they boulder.

Getting There

From Grand Junction, take CO Highway 141 toward Gateway. Once you're through Gateway and have veered left by Gateway Canyons Resort, continue for about 5 miles.

Turn right onto Z Road, and you'll start to enter the canyon. Enjoy!

[Hide Comment] The location for Salt Creek Canyon is not correct on the map. It should show farther north on Z Rd. Mar 6, 2023
