What May feels like
The Iron Horse Bicycle Classic runs Memorial Day weekend, when riders race the steam train up to Silverton and the whole town plans around it. Runoff peaks about now, so the Animas is pushy and serious — great for rafting, wrong for the lazy tube float people picture.
Real rain shows up about 2 days all month; the rest stay dry. about 10 nights dip below freezing.
