Rigor Mortis on Clear Creek during the winter, at an extremely low water level of 28 cfs. I was visiting the area to ski at Breckenridge, and took a detour along the way in order to see this class 5.3 rapid at lower water levels then I had ever heard of before. It was absolutely amazing to see a rapid like this at this low level, and get a chance to take a good look at the riverbed that forms those two massive holes at higher levels!
