The Dillon area, at least where we are staying, is a very arid and dry place. The surrounding hills are brown with little vegetation. There's cactus growing in places you wouldn't expect and we have to watch our step when walking the perimeter of the campground. Reminds me of Arizona, but our high temperatures are no where near Arizona. We've had very little rain this summer and the campground owners have to water the sites to keep the grass somewhat green.
We can see the dam and spillway from the campground and we fish the river all the way to Dillon. The reservoir sits on the 45th parallel north, halfway between the North Pole and the equator. It is a circle of latitude that is 45 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane.
