Grand_Hogback
The Grand Hogback is a 70-mile long,[2] curving, spine-like ridge in Western Colorado that extends from near McClure Pass in Pitkin County through Garfield County and then to near Meeker in Rio Blanco County.[3] The hogback is significant because it marks part of the boundary between the Colorado Plateau to the west and the Southern Rocky Mountains to the east.[4]
The elevation of the ridge ranges from 7,710 ft (2,350 m) to 9,194 ft (2,802 m). The hogback appears as a series of serrated ridges and is easily discernable from Google Maps and other aerial views.[4] It is visible from Interstate 70.
