An Introduction to the Roaring Fork Watershed
Each spring, RFC offers River Ecology Interpretation to first year white water rafting guides. These half-day, on-water trainings allow dozens of commercial river guides to learn about the Roaring Fork watershed's health, flora, fauna, water issues, "plumbing", and cultural history. Trainings are discussion-oriented and tailored to meet interests and needs of the participating guides and outfitters. Each guide receives a packet with additional resources, as well.
Thank you to Aspen Whitewater Rafting, Blazing Adventures, Blue Sky Adventures, Defiance Rafting Company, Elk Mountain Expeditions, and Whitewater Rafting, LLC for inviting us and taking such great care of us. Additional thanks to Pitkin County Open Space and Trails for underwritting a major portion of these programs.
Get out on our rivers with our local white water outfitters. What an amazing group of guides and river lovers!

Is There Enough Water In the Colorado River to Meet Everyone's Needs?
an outdoor dialogue with
Andy Mueller, General Manager at Colorado River Water Conservation District
Our legal mechanisms for allocating water in the Colorado River Basin are being tested by a significant decline in flows over the last two decades. While the future remains uncertain for how everyone will receive their water, what is certain is that we are using more than the river provides, and coming to a consensus on the solution continues to be both complex and challenging. Join us for this interactive discussion as we delve into the history of interstate and international water allocation in the Colorado River Basin.
Registration is required and limited. RSVP HERE to reserve your seat.
