This weekend was the Animus river days and today on monday we went and did the Vallecito run. It is about a 45 minute drive from Durango. We went with 4 Corners (4 corners is the river store in Durango) guys Tony and Drew, and another guy Erin. It is a fun drive, i got to drive there and back so of course it was fun. We drive up to an RV park where we start hiking. We have to hike up the creek, it is about 1.1 miles of uphill, near the top the view is beautiful. The water is cold and super clear, it was really pretty. It was pretty tight in the gorge, the run was manky and pretty steep. One of the first rapids was like a 12 foot drop, it was cool. There is a cave on the left that a few people have drowned in at high water. If you do go in there and you get out of the water in the cave, you have to take off all your gear and climb out of a hole in the cave. It looks like it would be pretty bad to go in at higher water for sure. There was a bunch more smaller manky rapids after that. Than we came to Fuzzy Bunny, it was like a 9 foot drop that lands in a slot like 6 foot wide. That was a really cool rapid, i liked it. Than from there out it was some more manky rapids that were really fun. That is basically what today was like, it was a fun day. Now we are headed to Salida for Fibark. Thanks for reading,
