Fig. 1The Purgatoire winding Picketwire Canyon, Comanche National Grassland
Landform
Shortgrass on the Colorado High Plains that drops into Picketwire — a river canyon, mesa rims, and dinosaur trackway country the Forest Service kept.
Field note
From the grass you do not see the cut. Picketwire holds the Purgatoire and the longest dinosaur trackway in North America. La Junta is the nearest town. This plate is Comanche National Grassland, not Mesa Verde and not a wheat ranch.
Comanche is High Plains grass that drops into Picketwire: the Purgatoire, mesa rims, a dinosaur trackway. La Junta is the town. This plate is the USFS grassland, not Mesa Verde.
