This last stretch of the Dolores before joining the Colorado River lives in a remote section of Colorado and Utah. This is mainly a class II to III run with one IV rapid at the stateline. Again the hardest part of running the Dolores is catching it when there is water. This makes for a short season.
The shuttle is extremely long so you may want to check into a shuttle company.
