The rivers are flowing strong and the sun is shining warm rays on the Gunnison valley lately. Some friends and I recently grabbed a few stand up paddle boards from the Colorado Freeskier’s downtown location at the Crested Butte Gear Exchange next to Mark’s Automotive for an afternoon float on the Slate River. Go rent some today and try it for yourself, it is a lot of fun! Full day rentals are $45 with $30 half-days and $15 after work specials from 5:30-8 everyday!
