This is just a glimpse of how angry the rivers are around here right now.
This is the San Juan through Pagosa

On the trail or on the road?

Looks like the bridge across the pine on 501a road

160 is now closed on the west side of Wolf Creek Pass and through Pagosa Springs.

I’m just a little south of there in the Farmington, NM area. Lots of rain the past few days. Be careful out there and stay out of the arroyo’s. There’s a reason why they can go from 10 feet to 20 feet deep with no exits.

More rain is on the way…..

We had over 1 in of rain in the past 36 hours.

Also just got the first dusting of snow! Looks to feather up from 8000 ft! 1st should be good.

This is all kind of crazy as someone that tracks water. The driest summer in 2 decades and now the wettest Sept/Oct that I can recall.

I cannot come to grips with 6000 cfs in that V of a canyon.... Holy crap.

Hit 7k, but yea, I bet the big log jam up on the trail about 1.5 miles up got blown out. We were just there the weekend before.

Vallecito reservoir came up enough to where the boat ramp concrete is submerged again. It was way lower 2 days ago.

On the bright side the surfing/kayaking has been world class the past couple days…

These storms are real or good to remember..

I wanted so bad to go up to the switchbacks Saturday afternoon and just listen to the noise of it. But my good judgment got the better of me. I’m wondering if the bridges have survived unscathed.

Radar looked like Pagosa area was really getting the shit today. I had some thunderstorms roll in right at dark.

I was wondering about piedra Rd. Glad I thought better of it.

 

[justinspicher]

I drove up Piedra Rd (CR600) yesterday and it wasn’t bad at all.

Shows how fast things can change!
