| Description: |
|
The Dolores is an exquisite, pristine wilderness river in southwestern Colorado, near the town of Cortez. This river has an early spring run and is best early May through mid-June. The trip consists of two sections of the Dolores. The first begins at Bradford Ranch near Cahone (north of Cortez) and finishes at Slickrock, approximately 48 miles downriver. The water is class III-IV, including notorious Snaggletooth Rapid. The canyon walls are steep and tree-covered with wonderful camps among the Ponderosa pines and on grassy knolls. The second section, Slickrock Canyon from Slickrock to Bedrock, is mostly class II-III with beautiful sandstone cliffs, side canyons, sandy beaches, and a peacefulness found on few western rivers.
