is one piece of crap drop at the confluence of Bear Creek. The drop above " piece of crap" is also
precarious do to the fact it is a sieve pluged up by wood. If the wood gets flushed out it's a
river wide sieve. Sounds strange and it is. I've uploaded a few photos. Anybody interested in more
details can contact me directly. matt@kayaktelluride.com Put-in: Confluence of Red Mountain Creek
