Revised Gauge description...currently experiencing technical difficulties:

Cherry Creek is considered unrunnable at high water levels. Do not attempt Cherry Creek above 2000 cfs. During higher flow levels, Cherry Creek should only be attempted by individuals with extensive Class V experience and the highest whitewater skill-set. Commercial rafting begins in early-mid July when flows decrease to approximately 1100-1400 cfs. At this level, Cherry Creek is a steep, rushing torrent of non-stop Class IV-V+ Rapids. Commercial rafting continues into late summer and ends when flows decrease below approximately 700-800 cfs.

Brett comments that many paddlers spin out there, as did Kevin in the picture.
