Yuma County High Point Trip Report
Date: November 23, 1996
Author: David Olson
I got a late start. I drove out on I-70, stopped in Byers to pick up snacks and then
continued east on US 36. I visited the Washington county CO HP, then returned to U.S. 36
and continued east to Cope. I stopped to look under the bridge.
The Arikaree River was dry, its bed sandy and 30 feet wide.
Just past Cope I turned south on gravel roads to find the Yuma county CO HP, 4440+ feet.
The HP resembled Washington county's HP. The highest ground was in the absolute corner
of the county and sloped away from the manmade elevation of the road.
