Brice Canyon, also called Brice Draw, lies in southeast-central La Plata County in southwestern Colorado along the Florida River. Its mouth stands at an elevation of 6,647 feet, and the canyon’s southern section reaches into the Southern Ute Indian Reservation. Its two names reflect both its physical character and local usage, identifying it as a canyon and also as a draw, a term often used for a smaller or narrower drainage. The canyon’s setting along the river and its link to reservation land place it within a landscape shaped by waterways and by the geography of the Southern Ute homeland.
