Little Colorado River Gorge

Carved by the Little Colorado River, one of the largest tributaries of the Colorado River, the Little Colorado River Gorge is a deep and dramatic natural landmark located in the Painted Desert. This gorge offers striking scenery reminiscent of the Grand Canyon but with fewer crowds. Visitors can enjoy several overlooks that provide easy access to panoramic views of the rugged, colorful landscape. The river’s persistent erosion has sculpted a series of steep cliffs and winding canyons, creating a visually captivating experience.
