First Gorge Lime Creek

The First Gorge of Lime Creek is a short high alpine run that does not need a whole lot of water to run. If the creek looks too low at the put-in, the level is probably good, but could be too low. We did it in late May when the Animas at Durango was at 2400. This made for a nice medium-low flow, but this barometer is very rough, so don't quote me on it. The run starts with some small ledges. If these are scrapy but okay, the gorge below will be good.

Low-medium was a great level for Adrenaline Falls. Adrenaline is an intimidating falls with a tricky entrance. We somehow did not get a single shot of the one really photo-worthy drop on the run, but it went well. The S-turn was fun as always and then we reached the finale, Dragon's Back. Count runs Dragon's Back down the traditional right line.

Mark tried a new line. It didn't work very well, but reinforced the general concensus that a left line here equals a swim.
