What are Colorado packrafting courses on the Animas looking like for 2024? Awesome. But then again, the Animas is always almost always awesome for packrafters. The beauty of our local river is you can still develop your skills on it in a packraft in water as low as 182cfs.

So what do we “predict” for this year?
Kidding… no predictions. Colorado’s weather is too fickle for that. But looking forward to the next few months… as temps warm in the La Platas, the Animas River will likely run anywhere from 800-2000 toward the end of April into May. It tends to rise further, averaging 3000-4500cfs later in May and then into June, though it hit almost 7000 June 10 2019!

At the end of June into July, the river starts falling again to under 1000. Of course, new snowstorms can happen late into the spring, and if it rains, that’s another boost to river levels. We run a full schedule of Level 1-4 packrafting courses on the Animas from April-July, as different sections are appropriate for different level courses no matter the flow.
Let’s cross our fingers for summer monsoons, which mean bigger flows and the opportunity for more advanced boaters to do the Upper Animas or Rockwood, pictured, (though we don’t guide those sections. Sorry!)
