About five miles from the start is the Mystery Dam. At low water the passage on the left of the dam was narrow with turns and ending at a strainer at the bottom. Perhaps it would be better to just walk around this hazard. NOTE: This dam was removed in 2005.
About four miles downstream of the 32 Road bridge we stop to take picture of Ken and Carol in the waves.
Somewhere along the way.
We arrive at Fruita State Park. (27.5 miles from the start)
Early morning at Fruita State Park
