AQAPSR The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) has issued a PM-2.5 High Pollution Advisory for the Phoenix Metro Area on Thursday. This means that ongoing stagnant weather conditions combined with existing airborne fine particulate levels may result in local fine particulate concentrations that pose a health risk. Adverse health effects increase as air quality deteriorates. Fine particulate matter - also known as PM-2.5 - is an air contaminant that can aggravate heart and lung disease conditions, especially in older adults, children, and those with asthma. A decrease in physical activity is recommended. Consolidate your travel, reduce or eliminate fireplace use, refrain from outdoor burning, and avoid using gas-powered lawn equipment. For details on this High Pollution Advisory, visit the ADEQ internet site at www.azdeq.gov/forecast/phoenix or call 602-771-2300.
The river run has a difficulty level of Class II, making it perfect for beginners and families. The best time to float this section of water is during the summer months, when the water levels are higher and the weather is warmer. The recommended flow rate for a successful run is between 800-2,000 cubic feet per second (cfs). Obstacles on the river include small rapids, rocks, and fallen trees, so caution should be taken at all times. Overall, this is a great place to enjoy a relaxing day on the water while taking in the stunning scenery.
