One of my favorite pastimesSliding sideways on slanted roads is a pucker factor, be prepared.
Last weekend we camped up there and it went from 40's to high 300's overnight and I thought that was a lot of rain! This storm has already tripled that and isn't done!to help understand what the weather is doing here, look at the river flows….

You live in Bayfield?It’s been raining on and off for almost twelve hours at my place in SW Colorado. I’m between Pagosa and Durango at 7400’. Not real cold, between the low to mid 50s. The forest service roads around these parts don’t get much maintenance and this storm is really gonna jack them up. Be careful out there.
If you’re gonna be in this area during 1st rifle and need some assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’ll try and help however I can.
That’s nuts!! here in Pagosa the San Juan went from 80 to 500.to help understand what the weather is doing here, look at the river flows….

yeah no friggin sh1t!!! i took my truck just a few hundred yards up one "road" and chickened out real quick. tried to back it down and had basically one wheel off the side, being off camber and such. had to deflate all the tires to get some sort of grip in the oily peanut butter. and it was a BIG fall off, most scared i think i've ever been.Sliding sideways on slanted roads is a pucker factor, be prepared.
This a good reminder because I will be crossing three or more small creeks to get to my spot. Even if we get a quarter of the rain SW CO will get, those creeks may overflow the drainage tubes under the trail.That’s good information - it’s going to catch a lot of guys off guard.
Some years ago we were in a drainage with some big bowls that emptied into the creek we walked across near the trailhead. A really big rain had the ankle deep creek up to our crotches with a flow fast enough I wouldn’t have waded it for fly fishing. We debated taking packs off and floating them across, but it quickly became clear the added weight was an advantage helping keep our feet firmly planted. Unbuckle your belts and sternum strap, shuffle your feet along the bottom and stand side by side going across. Other than a bad lightning storm, easily the most dangerous event I’ve been a part of in the back country.![]()
