This panorama from western Colorado shows Centennial Arch (also called Rattlesnake Arch) on a colorful summer sunset. This portion of the McInnis Canyons area is known as Rattlesnake Canyon and sits just west of both Colorado National Monument and the city of Grand Junction. While difficult to access this area (either through a long and uphill hike or a long rough 4WD road) the effort does have its rewards. Views like this await, and this area sees very few visitors.
