And wow, the flows are back up (thank you Britt Runyon for verifying this unexpected awesomeness on the river)! Orilla Verde and Racecourse are 831 cfs, with an estimate for the Box at 801 cfs! And right now, up in Colorado, the Lobatos gauge tonight is still reporting high at 689 cfs! The Rio Chama is still relatively low, with the Wilderness/Days sections are in the low 100s cfs, and Abiquiu Wave is at 54 cfs. Up in Colorado, the Royal Gorge of the Arkansas has a reported flow of 367 cfs. On the Upper Colorado, the Gore Canyon and Pumphouse sections are 493 cfs, and downstream on the Barrel Springs and Shoshone sections the reported flow is 824 cfs. Waterton Canyon on the South Platte has a reported flow of 243 cfs. And out west in Utah in Cataract Canyon of the Colorado River, the reported flow at Gypsum Canyon near Hite is 4,650 cfs.
