Paradox Valley is a basin located in western Montrose County in the U.S. state of Colorado. The dry, sparsely populated valley is named after the apparently paradoxical course of the Dolores River—instead of flowing down the length of the valley, the river cuts across the middle and through the sheer walls of large mesas on either side.[1] The valley is the site of a Bureau of Reclamation salinity-control project which has caused thousands of earthquakes,[2] and is the proposed location of a new uranium mill which would be the first built in the United States in over 25 years.[3]
