Skeleton Gulch near Grand Lake is a dramatic, remote-looking canyon cut through rock and sage. Expect moody cloud textures, layered geology, and river/stream views (often best when water is moving). Visit in early morning for low-angle light and calmer winds; summer crowds are lighter than the main lakeshore, but weather can turn quickly at elevation.
