The Arkansas River was running bankful. I saw lots of rafters parked along the highway getting ready to float the rapids on my drive down through the San Luis Valley on my way to New Mexico. Snow melt from the Collegiate Range was running off in a lot of small creeks and rivulets. the Rio Grand here in Albuquerque is almost out of its banks and muddy brown. It made the long trip down through Colorado along the Continental Divide pretty interesting to experience springtime in the Rockies like that. At one point I thought the runoff looked about to wash over the highway.
