De Beque Canyon | Colorado 4k Drone Footage

[@markmark2080]

It's wonderful in my old age to see drone views like this of places I first visited as far back as the 1950s. Oh the joy of riding motorcycles west through Glenwood Canyon before I-70, turning up Plateau Creek Canyon and visiting Grand Mesa the first time... The cabin remains were hard to find on Google earth, I could see them on westbound street view but about gave up until I went up the slope a bit. Thank you for your effort, and including the historical information...You know, about 10 or 20 years ago the was a big landslide on the north rim of eastern Grand Mesa about 21 miles SE of De Beque and 6 miles SE of Colbran, might make an interesting drone video...Once you study it, it's easy to follow around the Grand Mesa rim and see many great landslides of the past, interesting stuff.

That landslide in Collbran was the next thing I was planning on filming! Thanks for the kind words!

I am constructing a video of the missing escarpment material as is somewhat evident at 4:01 (+/-) in your vid. I captured extensive footage in May of this year and will post in the coming weeks. The missing rock material is about an eighth of a mile long, 100' high and perhaps 150 thick...a huge amount of rock...that can't be found on either side or in any direction. This may be significant evidence of an extreme flood of enormous proportions; the 'Younger Dryas Impact' hypothesis comes to mind as a possible explanation.
