River Description
See Banks & Eckardt,
Colorado Rivers & Creeks II. They break it up into three short
runs, with the first mile a Class-V section. Roadside access is available via I-70, but they
caution against parking your car alongside the interstate at the uppermost putin. Getting towed
kinda sux.
Lat/longitude coords of the putin and takeout are approximate, from TopoZone.
