This map gives an overview of the
location of the Dolores River from the McPhee Reservior, Colorado to the
confluence of the Colorado River, Utah. The traverse of the Dolores takes one
through an area as interesting for its history as for its rare natural beauty.
It is not known who named the Rio de Nuestra Senora de las Dolores (River of
our Lady of Sorrows) and when they did so, but the Spaniards knew it by that
name when Dominquez and Escalante joined it near the present day town of
Dolores, Colorado on August 11, 1776. Click on an outlined section to see
