San Juan River - East Fork
10 miles away
I am a very close relative of the land owners for a significant portion of the East Fork. There is a couple of miles of river that is private land. Using the river or the land without authorization is tresspassing and is illegal. I am by no means giving you permission to use it. I am simply stating the facts. Please respect the property line and stay on public lands. Other than that enjoy your time in CO and happy rafting....

Wolf Creek is renowned for light, fluffy powder that comes in epic portions.In addition to a variety of traditionally maintained beginner and intermediate terrain, Wolf Creek offers an exceptional back-country feel with 1,000 acres of advanced and expert terrain serviced by the Alberta lift, including the breathtaking Knife Ridge, the challenging Waterfall Area, and Alberta Peak, the pinnacle of Wolf Creek Ski Area, all of which exists largely in its natural state.....After a snow-filled December, Wolf Creek Ski Area has surpassed the 200-inch mark, making it the ski resort with the Most Snow in the Nation!
