HD St Vrain Canyon and Creek Lyons to Allenspark Colorado in High Def
St Vrain Canyon and Creek Colorado St. Vrain Creek (often known locally as the St. Vrain River) is a tributary of the South Platte River, approximately 40 miles (64 km) long, in north central Colorado in the United States. It drains part of the foothills north of Boulder and the Colorado Piedmont area in the vicinity of Longmont.
The creek is formed by the confluence of North and South St. Vrain creeks at Lyons. The creek rises in several branches in the foothills of the Front Range northwest of Boulder. Middle St. Vrain Creek rises along the continental divide, west of St. Vrain Mountain. It descends in canyon to flow along State Highway 7 and past Raymond. It joins the shorter South St. Vrain Creek just below Raymond. North St. Vrain Creek rises northeast of St. Vrain Mountain near Allenspark and descends in a canyon to the east along U.S. Highway 36. The two branches join at Lyons, at the mouth of the canyon. East of Lyons, the combined stream flows southeast through farmland and ranch country, passing south of Hygiene and entering Longmont. It passes through the south side of Longmont where it is rimmed by a greenway trail and several parks. East of Longmont it flows generally northeast, meandering through a wide river bottom in ranch country and passing under Interstate 25 south of the intersection with State Highway 66. It joins the South Platte from the west just upstream from the ruins of Fort St. Vrain and approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) northwest of Platteville.
The creek rivers Left Hand Creek south of Longmont and Boulder Creek east of Longmont.

Where does the Colorado River start?
I went on an adventure to find out.
Google maps said the hike was only 2.5 hours, but it turned out to be a full 5 to get to the continental divide atop Le Poudre Pass.
But, it did not disappoint. It was so interesting and unique of an experience to see the very start of the river that carved out Arches, the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, Lake Mead, Glenwood canyon, and so many more. But here, I saw it as just a tiny little stream.

SUMMARY
=======
The Uncompahgre River is a tributary of the Gunnison River, approximately 75 mi (121 km) long, in southwestern Colorado in the United States. Lake Como at 12,215 ft (3723m) in northern San Juan County, in the Uncompahgre National Forest in the northwestern San Juan Mountains is the headwaters of the river. It flows northwest past Ouray, Ridgway, Montrose, and Olathe and joins the Gunnison at Confluence Park in Delta.
The river forms Poughkeepsie Gulch and the Uncompahgre Gorge. The major tributaries are all creeks draining the northwest San Juan Mountains.
There are two dams on the Uncompahgre River, a small diversion dam in the Uncompahgre Gorge, and Ridgway Dam below the town of Ridgway which forms Ridgway Reservoir.
The river is used for irrigation in the Uncompahgre Valley. Additionally, water from the Gunnison is diverted to the valley via the Gunnison Tunnel. The Uncompahgre is unnavigable except at high water.
The name Uncompahgre ( (listen)) comes from the Ute word Uncompaghre, which loosely translates to dirty water, red lake, or red water spring and is likely a reference to the many hot springs in the vicinity of Ouray.
Fountain Creek Flooding in Green Mountain Falls, Colorado: One Year Later
The flooding of Fountain Creek through Green Mountain Falls on Aug. 23, 2013 never really stopped. The creek continues to flood over its bank and homeowners get put on voluntary evacuation every time it rains hard in Woodland Park 5 miles upstream. One year after the first major flood swept through the community, the cost and engineering of flood control now falls on the homeowners to save their properties.
Flood mitigation at a public office level has turned into a hair ball of stagnation from Woodland Park down through Cascade, Green Mtn. Falls, and Chipeta Park. The OTHER flooding of Fountain Creek downstream from this community is the result of the Waldo Canyon Fire (towns affected include Cascade and Manitou Springs). In that portion of Fountain Creek, flood mitigation has been efficiently implemented by many levels of government because the flood water from the burn area originates from USFS land. In that case, run-off from Federal lands adversely affects private homeowners.
Unfortunately for Green Mountain Falls, Crystola, and Chipeta Park, flooding from Fountain Creek every time it rains in WP has become a recurring and regular event that seems to be the result of recent expansion of build-out, parking lots, and development of commercial properties permitted by the City of Woodland Park without drain mitigation. Adverse effects of the subsequent flooding cross multiple municipality and county boundaries, further complicating any action from public sources. It is a mystery why the state or federal offices have not provided a solution, though the strain on those levels of government to address Colorado flooding obviously includes the Waldo Canyon Fire burn area and the catastrophic flooding of Colorado's Front Range last year.
Now, a year later, the burden of flood control along Fountain Creek in Green Mountain Falls is falling on the individual home owners who are trying to re-route the creek or fortify their properties against episodic flooding at their own cost.
Take a look at this humble man: Dale White, in his own trench in his front yard with a shovel taking on the flooding creek mano-y-mano a year later to save his home before it's too late to save anything at all.

Lake Powell
Lake Powell is a reservoir on the Colorado River, straddling the border between Utah and Arizona (most of it, along with Rainbow Bridge, is in Utah). It is a major vacation spot that around 2 million people visit every year. It is the second largest man-made reservoir, by maximum water capacity, in the United States behind Lake Mead, storing 24,322,000 acre feet (3.0001×1010 m3) of water when full. Lake Powell was created by the flooding of Glen Canyon by the controversial Glen Canyon Dam, which also led to the creation of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, a popular summer destination. The reservoir is named for explorer John Wesley Powell, a one-armed American Civil War veteran who explored the river via three wooden boats in 1869. In 1972, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area was established. It is public land managed by the National Park Service, and available to the public for recreational purposes. It lies in parts of Garfield, Kane, and San Juan counties in southern Utah, and Coconino County in northern Arizona. The northern limits of the lake extend at least as far as the Hite Crossing Bridge. A map centered at the confluence of the Escalante River
Lake Powell is a storage facility for the Upper Basin states of the Colorado River Compact (Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, and New Mexico). The Compact specifies that the Upper Basin states are to provide a minimum annual flow of 7,500,000 acre feet (9.3 km3) to the Lower Basin states (Arizona, Nevada, and California).
