In the office we have all seen the result of our warm weather firsthand.  There were three gauging stations in the valley that set new record high flows.  The Eagle River below Gypsum's last record flow of 7,020 cubic feet per second (cfs) in 1984 was broken on June 7th with the new record of 7,240 cfs!  Similarly, Gore Creek's 2003 record of 1,890 cfs was shattered by the new record of 2,500 cfs. 

 

Here are some photos from around the valley of the high and sometimes dangerous flows.
