Mouth of Mee Canyon Area

Colorado > Grand Junction… > Westwater Area > Mee Canyon

Description

The mouth of Mee Canyon has a wonderful Wingate buttress with a tower and some high quality crack lines.  Watching the rafts float by as you climb makes for a memorable experience.

Getting There

Most of the routes are a short walk from the campsite at the mouth of Mee Canyon.  Nerve Endings is off by itself around the first bend in the trail.
