The design showcased on this year's Animas River Days T-shirts illustrates the dynamic and continuous journey of water within our environment, highlighting the importance of rivers like the Animas. In the artwork, water evaporates beneath the hot sun, condensing into the clouds. As these clouds move over the landscape, they release precipitation falling as rain on the mountains.
This rainfall travels through various channels, meeting the snowmelt, and gradually feeding into the river. This river, bustling with activity and life, is a vital artery of the biodiverse ecosystem. The water flows around the kayaker, ready to continue the life-giving cycle.
At Animas River Days, we celebrate this incredible natural process, which sustains life and shapes our landscapes. We also recognize the essential role we play in protecting and preserving our rivers, ensuring they remain vibrant and healthy for generations to come. This festival is not only a celebration of river sports and community but also an educational platform to raise awareness about the ecological and cultural significance of rivers. Water is life.
