02. Cimarron to Gunnison River

See Banks & Eckardt, _Colorado Rivers & Creeks II_. This is a cool, short, roadside gorge that makes for a good after work run if you live in the area, or something unique to catch if you're driving along Hwy 50 in the spring. The gorge starts off fast and hits the main event after ~150 yards from the bridge, Super-Bass-O-Matic, a long-ish class V drop with a couple sections, but super easy to scout from the road. It starts with a big ledge-hole boof into a pool, then moves into a more technical series of slot/drops through a steep boulder garden. Lots of hidden teeth in this one... stay upright. Wood likes to get caught up in here so give it all check before dropping in. After SBOM, it's read n run class III-IV to the reservoir, with a decent drop at the end. Though runnable lower, 500-700 seems to be pretty good level to make it worth the drive. Above 700 and it's probably sketchy to get under the bridge at the top of the gorge, but there's an easy put-in below this. It's mainly snow fed.
