Headwaters of the Rio Grande Orientation Table - Rio Grande National Forest, CO - Orientation Tables on Waymarking.com

On its journey, the Rio Grande cuts gorges through volcanic rock and meanders placidly through fertile valleys. Along the way, it provides water for wildlife, recreation, irrigation, electricity, and human consumption.

Excerpt from the Silver Thread Byway interpretive sign

The Rio Grande is the third longest river in the United States, winding 1,885 miles from Colorado to Texas and Mexico. The river begins as snow melt on the north slopes of Rio Grande Pyramid over 13,000 feet above its outlet into the Gulf of Mexico.

Points visible from this overlook include Brown Lakes, Minnie Mountain, Weminuche Pass, Rio Grande Pyramid and Ute Ridge.
