Arkansas River probably near peak

Check it out: The Ark is on its way up, and there's not much snow left. Predictions are the river's peak will come perhaps as early as this week, instead of sometime in June.

I ran Brown's Canyon near Salida this weekend, and it was sweet, if a bit cold. I highly recommend if you want to raft this year, you do it now!

Or, of course, you can head over to the Western Slope, where the Colorado should have huge water soon.
