The White River Plateau[1] is a "broad structural
dome"[2] located north of
Glenwood Springs, Colorado and north of the
Colorado River. Also called the White River Uplift, the mountainous area is shown on maps as being roughly circular in area, occupying parts of the Colorado counties of
Garfield and
Rio Blanco, with small portions extending into
Eagle and
Routt counties.[3] The
Grand Hogback marks parts of the plateau's southern and western boundaries. The
Flat Tops mountain range is part of the White River Plateau, and much of the plateau is located within the
White River National Forest.[4]
The summit of
Blair Mountain, elevation 11,465 feet (3,495 meters), is the plateau's highest point.
