A placid morning float and introduction to rafting and the river in the Orilla Verde Recreation Area leads to a favorite riverside lunch. After lunch we run the Class III rapids of the "Racecourse." The Lower Gorge of the Rio Grande is a broad canyon with lush riparian habitat along the banks of the Rio. As we enter the "Racecourse" section the geology radically changes as we pass onto the Rio Grande fault line, one of the largest intercontinental fault lines in North America. Excellent birding and wildlife viewing potential along with ancient Rio Grande style petroglyphs (rock art) and desert freshwater springs make this a fantastic full day adventure for families, first time rafters and groups. Paddle boats, oar boats and inflatable kayaks are available.

Full Day Rio Grande Gorge trips available EVERY DAY starting in April through August.
