Rio Grande in flood - spring 2005 - photo taken from Pueblito Bridge along Highwater Bypass route
typical spring fording conditions (spring 2008) - Rio Grande isn't in flood, but might be too deep for standard fording procedures (ok for a 'prepared swim' perhaps). Note sandy mouth of Arroyo Alamillo along far bank and compare with following image of typical autumn conditions.
Rio Grande below the GET fording spot. Sandy mouth of Arroyo Alamillo visible opposite. The ford (in autumn) was only shin deep, with a lazy current.
