RMA Poudre Rock Report

Sorry for delay in reporting this morning’s sighting, ran into a couple of the most influential people in the Poudre Canyon’s history at the new coffee shop at Columbine (currently known as Riverside). Had a great trip down history lane. Anyway… lots and lots of traffic today. Be safe!

Currently 55˚F, a few clouds and just the slightest breeze.

We have a major 100% stream crossing occlusion in the Narrows at approx MM102.7 (Upper Narrows). A Bridge log perpendicular to the channel had collected one major log a couple weeks ago, and now, it is several logs. And it is channel wide! My recommendation is, do not run Upper Narrows- at least for the foreseeable future.

Currently 54˚F, sunny and calm.
