USGS Real-Time GORE CREEK at RED SANDSTONE CREEK AT VAIL, CO

Here we go again. Last night the Gore Creek reached as high as it has all season. The wet weather followed by higher temps has filled the banks of the creek. Click the following link for the graph that details how the creek has reacted to the weather over the last week.

USGS Real-Time Water Data for USGS 09066325 GORE CREEK ABV RED SANDSTONE CREEK AT VAIL, CO: "Discharge, cubic feet per second
Most recent instantaneous value: 1,350 06-25-2011 04:45 MDT"

The biggest reason why there is much less water on the course especially around the 1st and 10th tee, is due to the fact that a lot of Vail Mountain has melted off. Most of the water on the course is related to the Gore Creek and run off from the Gore Range.
