There are technically more difficult commercial runs (Gore, Cherry, Burnt Ranch come to mind), but the upper Animas is perhaps the most dangerous due to the water temperature. The water is shockingly cold, and that cold just saps up your energy during a swim. I would recommend a dry suit for running this river.
