How are the river crossings?

Hardrock Hundred FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Construction is beginning on a trail bridge across the Uncompahgre River just before you reach Ouray. Hopefully, it will be completed in time for this year's run. In '94 (a dry year) the water here was slightly above the knee (the run crossed the dam in years before that). In a wet year it could be far worse. The crossing at pole creek is also likely to be quite wet - in '94 I barely made it across on rocks. In a normal year it would be knee deep.

What should I wear on the river?

HDRO 800 461-5823 Whitewater rafting frequently asked questi...
This depends on the time of year, water temperature, and weather. As a rule of thumb we recommend you dress for the water temperature, rather than the air temperature, since you'll be getting wet. Hotter days, we recommend wearing shorts or an ordinary swim suit. Cooler days, with cold water, we rent wet suits, or a wet suit/paddle jacket combination. You might also bring some synthetic fleece, polypro, capilene, or wool garments. Don't wear cotton. It will just make you colder.

Can I get Ross River disease in Sydney?

FAQs
The chances are small. Within Sydney there are none of the animals (such as kangaroos) that act as the major host for the virus. However, there are known mosquito vectors present and with infected people returning from country areas where the virus is present, it is possible that human-mosquito-human transmission (normally the cycle is animal host-mosquito-human) may occur, although this has never been documented.

No, these] are the water flumes (walled tunnels, with a floor, walls, and a roof, of wood) that used to take water from the Truckee to the electric plant just West of Verdi.

How deep is the river?

Santa Fe Rafting Co.
River depths vary according to location in some spots the river is shallow and can be measured in inches other parts are more than twenty feet deep. The good news is that rapids result from constrictions and sedimentation so we look forward to the places on the river where it is not as deep because that is where we find the excitement.
