Description
The Piney River is remote requiring commitment to attain. Roads accessing the put-in and headwaters are usually closed until 1 June. (Gated/locked) This river runs north toward State Bridge through remote and private terrain. Wood is a solid part of the equation on this high elevation creek. There is significant deadfall in the region. Alternate reference:  _The Floaters Guide to Colorado, D. Wheat_
