Rafters and surfers enjoy riding a wave on the Gunnison River near Gunnison, Colorado on May 17,2020. The Gunnison is flowing at about 80% of it's normal volume for this time of year. Overall, Colorado's snowpack is melting faster than usual. Along with lower river flows the presence of COVID-19 is creating challenges for commercial river running companies as well as private boaters. (Dean Krakel/Special to Fresh Water News)
