The Little Colorado River travels between 7,000 and 9,000 feet elevation. This river was originally called Flax River by the early Spanish explorers because of the abundance of wild flax growing along its banks.
The East Fork is about six miles of very narrow creek bed and flowing water from Colter Reservoir to Greer. Just a few small brook and rainbow trout swim here. The West Fork begins atop Mt. Baldy and flows north of Lee Valley to Sheep's crossing on into Greer.
In the upper reaches, there are a few brook trout and small browns. The South Fork runs north, just east of Greer and flows into the main tributary.
There's a campground and cabin resort at South Fork and hiking trails that go back upstream. The area around Greer is quite impressive with its rolling meadows, wildflowers and forests.
