White "Chalk" Cliffs of Colorado



These cliffs aren't really made of "chalk" but of crumbling white quartz monzonite that looks like chalk. To get there, we drove south from Buena Vista on Highway 285, and then west on Chalk Creek Drive (County Road 162) to the base of Mt. Princeton. It was too snowy on this particular day to explore the cliffs, and we were still exhausted from our earlier march through the fossilized redwood forest. We were happy to take pictures from the car, and quickly head over to the Hot Springs.
