		Northward, in Utah and Colorado, the basin becomes progressively narrower, edged by loftier mountain ranges, until at the extreme northern tip of the ear, 830 miles from the Mexican border, it is reduced to a width of 25 miles as it culminates in the magnificent Wind River Range of western Wyoming.
		The Colorado River beyond this junction plunges into a wild and fantastically eroded land of winding gorges and sandstone mesas whose vast expanses are punctuated at irregular intervals by the isolated, steeply upthrust masses of the Henry, Abajo, and Navajo Mountains.
		In the Colorado River Basin, the most reliable and conspicuous plant indicators of the Boreal Zone are the lodgepole pine, limber pine, whitebark pine, white pine, foxtail pine, white fir, alpine fir, Engelmann spruce, blue spruce, dwarf juniper, aspen, red elderberry, dogwood, and the blueberries.

	Middle Park (Colorado basin) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The valley is surrounded on the north, east, and south by mountains that form the continental divide, and thus it forms a slight pocket westward in the drainage basin of the Pacific Ocean in this part of the Rockies.

		Unlike North Park and South Park, which are wide flat basins at the headwaters of the North and South Platte respectively, Middle Park is a narrower basin, allowing for less agricultural use as pasturelands.
