Location Type: Public Access
Details: According to the Travel Channel's Treasure Wiki Colorado Page, you can find some amethyst, but also pink feldspar and some agate. It also says: "Handy to bring along: 1. Hand Tools 2. Rock bag 3. Rock hammer

There are No Trespassing signs in the area but there is plenty of material outside of the posted areas."
Directions: My GPS coords are approximate based on the directions from the Travel Channel's Treasure Wiki Colorado Page. It says: "Take HWY 50 south from Grand Junction. At Whitewater turn south on HWY 141 for about 11 miles. There is a small bridge and a parking area on the right. "
