The canyon has a somewhat flat and wide bottom, like a glacial cut valley. However it is not glacial cut, and it defies geological explanation for that.

The free stuff is always better, regardless where you go. My Fifty Things pieces for Go Colorado and THe Colorado Experience series for the state chamber of commerce features those sites locally. Hanging Lake, Calhan Paint Mines, Lost Creek Wilderness, Flattops Wilderness, The Haunted Cemetery, Weisbrod Aircraft Museum, The San Luis Alligator Farm, Unaweep Canyon.
Unaweep is a 2000 foot deep canyon tha cuts through the Uncompahgre Plateau. It has two streams in the bottom, one flowing east out the east entrance, and the other flowing west out the west entrance. In many miles they flow PARALLEL to each other! If you think about that a moment, you realize the improbable absurdity.
Medano Creek is another. Up to 400 yards across and 3" deep.
S and A seek out free and less expensive things. Snowmobiles? hahahaha! We have a little experience with snow!
