The Browns Canyon Wilderness Study Area in#Colorado contains very rugged topography, with many mountains, canyons, and gulches. Drainages generally cross the WSA in an east-to-west direction and empty into the Arkansas River. Browns Canyon WSA offers outstanding opportunities for solitude, especially in canyons and gulches such as Middle Cottonwood Gulch, Cottonwood Gulch, Spring Gulch, Sawmill Gulch, and Green Gulch.
The 14,000-foot peaks of the Sawatch Range are located directly west of the WSA and provide a majestically scenic background. The Ruby Mountain area is very popular among rock hounds, and the Arkansas River Valley offers a wealth of natural and cultural resources.
