About the event

June 20-22 AWC Animas Weekend Trip
AWC Animas River weekend event, June 20-22, 2025.
In the spirit of our popular Arkansas River trips, which I am not able to plan this year. Come paddle in Aztec and Durango.

Best to reply directly to me via text/call at 5054006124 for questions or try my email to c2NvdHQgISBjYXJwZW50ZXJpdmVyIHwgZ21haWwgISBjb20=
I will try to track those confirmed in a roster and may share with confirmed attendees.
Search our AWC CHAT fb page for more comments.
Sharing this invite is fine.

Centrally located Base-Camp Friday and Saturday nights:
Aztec - Ruins Road RV Park and Campground:
Riverside primitive camping (W/Porta-pot) under the cottonwoods to accommodate our large AWC group.
Mention AWC Paddling group when paying or making camp reservation.
Cost is $15/night per tent, but that likely applies to van/truck sleepers as well.

Several folks will arrive Friday morning to set camps, then paddle from Cedar Hill Animas River Access back to camp.
Watch for light blue AWC banners and anyone wearing AWC merch. I drive a white crew truck with silver shell and trailer and will depart ABQ around 8:00am Friday. Self-support Primitive camp means bring everything you need to be comfortable, well-fed, and to safely paddle in cold water. Expect 60-90 temps in Aztec and 53-83 in Durango.

Use Google Maps to find Ruins Road RV Park in Aztec and directions to Cedar Hill Animas River Access, and on to Santa Rita Park in Durango 43 minutes away:

General Paddling Plans:
Animas flows are up with spring runoff.
Carpool and shuttle arrangements can also be arranged at campsite each morning for several possible sections of the Animas.

Friday:
Travel and set camps at Ruins Road RV Park and Campground, lower bench along river.
Meet at Ruins Road camp Friday by noon to shuttle up to Cedar Hill Animas River RAP and paddle back to camp.

Saturday:
Class 2/3: Durango Town Run laps. Many access points to suit paddler skills.
Visit 4CRS Store and great local breweries.

Optional Class 2 runs:
21-mile-long day Durango to Tico-Time RAP.
Cedar Hill RAP to camp, or Aztec Riverside Park.
Camp to Penny Lane RAP, or long trip to Farmington take outs.

Sunday: Pack camp and try short paddle before traveling home…
Maybe paddle Farmington sections and see the new play-wave feature near East Main Museum.
