Dolores River - Slickrock to Gateway

The Flume on the Dolores

Thanks to the abundant snowpack in the San Juan's accumulated during the winter of 2004/2005 the river ran for a few months in the Spring of 2005.

This section offers deep slickrock canyons, petroglyphs, lot's of class II, III whitewater and the infamous Flume.
