San Juan River (393 words) |
 | The San Juan River begins high in the San Juan Mountains of southwest Colorado near Wolf Creek Pass and the town of Silverton. |
| The river reach we run, between Bluff and Clay Hills, is a swift flowing river with an average gradient of 8 feet per mile. |
| Owing to this swift flow and the vast and easily eroded sedimentary rock layers exposed throughout the watershed, the San Juan River is among the siltiest in North America, transporting 11 million cubic meters of sediment into Lake Powell each year. |
