Follow Rica Fulton on a journey down the Little Snake River. Our adventure begins by following Rica’s involvement monitoring a controversial Wyoming water project and personally observe what is at stake by putting her own boat on the river. Rica takes us beyond common public access boat ramps, and introduces the viewer to a little-known tributary of the renowned Yampa River. We follow Rica searching for adventure, solitude, reward and revelation in the divine interconnectivity of watersheds.

Sometime in late July 2012, a small portion of the Warm Springs cliff became unbuckled and fell into the river below. 2012's river flows were well below average and the river had little effect on the new input of material. Boaters were very interested in seeing for themselves what this would mean for already famous rapid, Warm Springs, with these new changes in formation.

The last time Ken Brower traveled down the Yampa River in Northwest Colorado was with his father, David Brower, in 1952. This was the year his father became the first executive director of the Sierra Club and joined the fight against a pair of proposed dams on the Green River in Northwest Colorado. The dams—a big one at Echo Park and a smaller one at Split Mountain—would have flooded the canyons of the Green and its tributary, Yampa, inundating the heart of Dinosaur National Monument. With a conservation campaign that included a book, magazine articles, a film, a traveling slideshow, grassroots organizing, river trips and lobbying, David Brower and the Sierra Club ultimately won the fight—ushering in a period many consider the dawn of modern environmentalism. 62 years later, Ken revisited the Yampa & Green Rivers to reflect on his father's work, their 1952 river trip, and how we will address the looming water crisis in the American West.

Warm Springs Rapid is one of the West's classic whitewater experiences. Located in the deep canyons of Dinosaur National Monument on the Yampa River, the rapid is both feared and loved. Nearly 50 years ago, heavy rain produced a large debris flow that burst from side canyons and into the river creating what we know today as Warm Springs Rapid. River rafting was still in its early days at that time and one of the first boatman attempting to navigate the Warm Springs was thrown into the rapid and drowned. Since then the rapid has mellowed but still occupies a position of fable and nostalgia in the stories of river lore. Alongside the rapid the Yampa River has also seen many of river running's early days. From early do it yourselfers to now, Warm Springs is a story full of history, culture and a river that has captured the heart of boatmen and women for generations. And this only the beginning.

The Friends of the Yampa presents "The Last One," a documentary that features the Yampa River at flood stage during the historic 2011 runoff. The Yampa, located in Northwest Colorado, is the last major river in the 7-state Upper Colorado River Basin that does not have any major dams or diversions that significantly impact its flow. As pressure mounts in Colorado to locate future water supplies, the Yampa is and will always be a possible source. Take a journey down the Yampa through this 15-minute film and learn all about why this river is perhaps the most important river in the West today.
