Dolores River
Class III - Class IV
The Dolores remains one of the few multi-day wilderness rivers in the United States that do not require a special-use permit to run. The reason: because no very many people run it. This makes the Dolores a great place to get away for a few days. Over the fifty mile course of the run, the terrain transitions from a forested alpine environment with crystal clear water to more of a sandy pinon and juniper desert setting towards the end of the run. Steady Class III and IV whitewater tops off this spectacular three day expedition.
