Show PART II DESCRIPTION OF REGION feet the mountains and plateaus are, for the most part, heavily forested; however, the timberline ends at about 11,500 feet and above that elevation alpine and barren areas occur. Panoramic view of Kebler Pass in high mountains of Colorado. The Upper Main Stem and San Juan-Colorado Subregions are predomi- nantly characterized by severely eroded sedimentary rocks. This peculiar topography of high, flat-topped plateaus and mesas separated by narrow, nearly vertical-walled canyons is referred to as the Colorado Plateaus Province. Stream erosion as the principal weathering agent has produced cuts where -various rock layers of all ages are exposed. These dramatic erosional features, together with the brilliant colors of the forma- tions, have been the basis for designating several national monuments. |
