[edit] Ice climbing

NYT has pics on pp. A1 & B16, & mentions Ouray Ice Park being not in "Box Canyon" but "Uncampahgre Gorge" w/75-100 ft walls. Are these two names for the same feature, or two neighboring land features?

  • These are two separate locations. Both the Uncompahgre River and Canyon Creek flow through a box cayon just before their confluence. "Box Canyon" typically refrers to the canyon on Canyon Creek. Ice climbing is done in the smaller more accessible box canyon of the Uncompahgre Gorge. DebSpencer 00:15, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
