Just a heads up about the creek crossing on the East Fork trail in Colorado

The water was way higher than expected and finding a safe spot to cross took us over three hours, not the twenty minutes we planned. Anyone dealt with this recently and know if it's seasonal or a new thing?

That East Fork crossing was almost waist-deep last Thursday. Spencer_park26 is right about checking snowmelt, but I'd also look at the upstream dam release schedule. It turns a chill spot into a real problem fast.

Remember getting swept off my feet in a creek as a kid. Makes you respect moving water forever.

Man, I used to think that crossing was no big deal. After last weekend, I'm definitely checking the snowmelt reports first.
