Today's peak flow of around 4,600 cubic feet per second (CFS) is many times higher than the typical flow seen in Black Canyon. Last winter's heavy snowpack has contributed to rushing rivers throughout the area, as well as much-needed water to resupply the area's drought-ridden reservoirs. Use extra caution when recreating near the Gunniso

The Bureau of Reclamation promoted the 1983 overflow as another tourist spectacle, and it proved a popular attraction. However this was no normal event. The Colorado was on a rampage. The Bureau reacted too late to unprecedented inflows to the river caused by late Spring snows in the Rocky Mountains Emergency reservoir discharges were triggered along the river from the Grand Canyon to the Mexican border.
