FLOW: 1,532 CFS below Glenwood Springs

WATER CLARITY: Blown out and muddy

OVERALL RATING: 0 out of 10

We anticipate the local sections (Glenwood Springs and westward) to open soon, but for now:

The Colorado River is under a 24 hour voluntary closure until further notice due to high temperatures downstream of Red Dirt Creek all the way west to Rifle.
