We got some measurable snow a week or so ago, but this weekend turned out to be warm and sunny, so we loaded up and headed off for an unspeakably nice day on the Upper Colorado. Cool when we launched and very chilly water (someone said 44 degrees), but the air temp rose to mid sixties and the colors out there, while well past their peak, were stunning. Cloudless, warm, empty river, about 1000cfs. Eagles, beaver, blazing riparian reeds and cottonwood of fading yellow.
Just doesn't get any better than this.
