It drains into the San Juan (a major river in this region). The San Juan drains into the Colorado in Glen Canyon at the upper end of Lake Powell. <br /><br />It looks much bigger because of the snowmelt from the San Juans; it's around 4000 cfs, whereas in early April, it was around 800.Sonya Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01879889885162011649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640331618261060721.post-21067421110450288842011-06-14T10:13:48.962-04:002011-06-14T10:13:48.962-04:00I'll have to look up where the Animus River is...I'll have to look up where the Animus River is - looks fairly large - must flow into the Colorado.helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17487040672600743298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640331618261060721.post-84222480211095302692011-06-14T09:50:29.809-04:002011-06-14T09:50:29.809-04:00Thanks, Jala!
