This photo was also taken during our Stone Valley Lab in Colton, NY on February 12th . This was one of the only photos I took this day that accurately portrays how drastic the conditions were that day.

Stone Valley is a classic Adirondack rafting river that attracts people from hours away. The noted difference from other rivers in the region is that the rapids are much closer together in Stone Valley. The first mile drops 200' through seven distinct rapids separated on average by 100-200 yards. The greatest distance between any two rapids is only 400 yards.
