Tributaries such as the North Fork and Uncompahgre River also contribute to the flow. The river is regulated by the Aspinall Unit, which consists of three dams: the Blue Mesa Dam, Morrow Point Dam, and Crystal Dam. Seasonal trends show peak flows in late May to early June due to snowmelt, while low flows occur in the fall and winter months. Interesting facts include that the Gunnison River is one of the few rivers in the U.S. that flows north and that the surrounding landscape was formed by millions of years of geologic uplift and erosion.
